Our read on MMIT
BMost big muni ETFs just buy the index. MMIT hands the keys to MacKay's municipal credit team, which picks bonds across the intermediate part of the curve and pays out federally tax-exempt income monthly.
The Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax.
Why people hold it
- Actively run by the MacKay Municipal Managers team rather than tracking a benchmark, unlike the index giants that dominate the muni shelf (VTEB, MUB).newyorklifeinvestments.com
- Pays monthly, and the income it seeks is exempt from federal income tax, spread across about 800 bonds rather than a handful of big issuers.
- Trading since 2017 and now a $1B-$5B fund with moderate daily volume, so it isn't a thin, untested launch.
Worth knowing
- At 0.40%, it costs more than the 0.30% muni-ETF median and well above index rivals VTEB and SCMB at 0.03%. The manager's judgment is what the fee buys.
- With no index to hug, the portfolio rides on the team's credit and maturity calls and can look different from the broad muni market in either direction.newyorklifeinvestments.com
- The exemption the fund targets is federal. State and local treatment depends on where you live and which states' bonds it holds.
