SHYD: Weak Muni Bond ETF, Better Choices Out There
SHYD is a short-term municipal bond index ETF. Although its income is tax-exempt, it only yields 3.5%. For most investors, other funds offer much higher after-tax yields. Alternatives include BOXX and HYD, both with higher yields and returns.
SHYD - Perfectly Adequate, Just Not Good Enough I Think
SHYD targets short-term, lower-rated municipal bonds for higher yield, benefiting high-tax-bracket investors with federal tax-free income. The fund carries some liquidity and credit risk, but municipal default rates are historically very low, and the management fee is reasonable. SHYD has consistently underperformed its benchmark, and alternative funds like BYM or USFR offer better yields with similar or lower risk.
