Top Insights
The closed-end fund structure allows investors to purchase a diversified fund and potentially generate additional return through the change in the relationship between the closed-end fund's market price and Net Asset Value (NAV).
The fund primarily invests in investment grade municipal bonds with ability to invest in securities of any credit quality, and may use leverage to enhance current income and capitalize on municipal market dislocations.
RFM announced a cash dividend of 0.088 with an ex-date of March 16, 2026, indicating consistent monthly distribution policy to shareholders.
