NMZ: Playing The Muni Market The Right Way For Me
Nuveen Municipal High Income Opportunity Fund offers attractive tax-free income, especially for investors in higher tax brackets seeking current income. NMZ achieves higher yields by focusing on long-tenor, lower-rated, and unrated municipal bonds, where perceived risk exceeds actual default risk. The fund's 5.5%+ distribution rate (post-return of capital) is compelling, supported by leverage and selective credit risk-taking in the muni market.
