The fund employs fundamental analysis with a bottom-up security selection approach. Leverage accounted for 37% of the Trust's total assets as of fiscal year-end (February 2026). For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, the Trust reported total returns of 3.69% at NAV and 6.50% at market price.
Cyborg Score Rationale
The Trust demonstrates stable income generation through a diversified municipal bond portfolio and active leverage management. However, performance lagged its style-specific benchmark in the recent fiscal year, and like all fixed-income instruments, it faces material interest-rate risk and market-price volatility inherent to closed-end funds.
