VanEck Intermediate Muni ETF tracks intermediate-term, investment-grade municipal bonds, offering tax-free income but only middling returns for the risk taken. ITM's low fees (0.18%) and index-tracking approach provide diversification and lower interest rate risk but limit income potential compared to more selective strategies. Tax-equivalent yields make ITM best suited for investors in higher tax brackets; those below a 24% marginal rate may find better after-tax returns elsewhere.
