Our read on FLMB

ETF.net Research

In short

BMost muni funds buy the whole tax-exempt market. FLMB narrows the lens: a prospectus commitment of at least 80% of net assets to municipal green bonds, held in a compact portfolio that pays income monthly.

Stated mandate

The fund commits at least 80% of its net assets to municipal green bonds.

Why people hold it

  • The green mandate is contractual, not marketing: the prospectus commits at least 80% of net assets to municipal green bonds.
  • Compact by design, roughly 80 bonds, so the green-project theme shows up in the portfolio instead of being diluted across thousands of holdings.
  • The screen doesn't cost extra versus the typical muni fund: 0.30%, right at the category median.
  • Municipal bond income, paid monthly, from a Franklin Templeton fund that has been trading since 2017.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded. The bid-ask spread can matter more to your all-in cost than the expense ratio does.
  • The broad muni index giants run far cheaper: VTEB and SCMB at 0.03%, MUB at 0.05%. The green screen carries a real price premium.
  • A slice of a slice. With about 80 bonds, individual issuers and project types swing results more than in a thousand-bond index fund.
