EVYM is an actively managed fund that specializes in US municipal obligations, which are exempt from regular federal income tax. The fund emphasizes investment in high-yield securities, while also having the flexibility to explore lower investment grade ratings. To enhance diversification, up to 20% of the fund's assets may be allocated to other debt obligations, such as taxable municipal obligations, US Treasuries, and obligations from the US government and its associated agencies or instrumentalities. Typically, the fund focuses on acquiring municipal obligations with maturities extending ten years or more; however, it is also open to purchasing securities with shorter maturities depending on market conditions. The adviser carefully evaluates the creditworthiness of each issuer, taking into account ratings provided by recognized rating agencies, while also integrating ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors that could impact the performance of specific obligations.
The primary focus of EVYM is on high-yield securities, which present the potential for higher returns compared to traditional investment-grade assets. These securities typically belong to issuers with lower credit ratings but can yield attractive income opportunities.
In addition to high-yield securities, the fund has the option to invest in lower investment-grade securities. This approach allows the fund to diversify its portfolio and capture potential value from issuers that may be overlooked due to their credit ratings.
