Our read on FMNY
DTriple tax-free New York income, picked by managers instead of an index. FMNY can hold up to half its book in below-investment-grade munis, a lever the passive New York funds don't pull.
The Fund seeks current income exempt from regular federal and New York income taxes, with long-term capital appreciation as a secondary objective.
Why people hold it
- Income is exempt from regular federal, New York State and New York City taxes: the full triple-exempt package for city residents.sec.govftportfolios.com
- Actively run, with a mandate allowing up to 50% of net assets in below-investment-grade munis. That is credit an index-bound New York fund cannot reach.sec.gov
- Concentrated book of roughly 70 bonds, managed toward an effective duration of about 3 to 9 years rather than the long end alone. Distributions come monthly.sec.gov
Worth knowing
- The 0.49% fee sits above the muni ETF median and well above index staples like VTEB (0.03%) and NYF (0.09%). Active credit selection carries a price tag.
- A small fund that trades lightly, so spreads and order execution matter more here than with the category's heavyweights.
- Non-diversified and all-New York. State and city credit conditions, plus that junk-muni allowance, swing results in both directions.sec.gov
