MYD: The Wrong End Of The Muni Market For Me

BlackRock MuniYield is a selective, leveraged, closed-end municipal bond fund focused on long tenor and high credit quality holdings. MYD's headline yield is boosted by significant return of capital, so true income yield is closer to 4.55%-4.88% after adjusting for RoC. The fund's strategy prioritizes low credit risk and long duration, exposing investors to higher interest rate risk and potential capital decline as rates rise.
