Solid
Municipal bond closed-end funds
Strategic Profile
Managed by BlackRock Advisors, LLC, the fund leverages BlackRock's municipal bond expertise to deliver consistent tax-exempt distributions. The fund was formed on March 16, 1992 and has operated as a closed-end structure to provide stable income streams to retail investors seeking New York-specific tax benefits.
Cyborg Score Rationale
MYN operates as an established municipal bond fund with strong parent sponsorship and consistent dividend distributions (cash dividend of $0.051 announced for July 2026). However, losses were -$34.49 million in fiscal 2025, reflecting broader municipal bond market headwinds and interest rate pressures. The fund's closed-end structure and leverage strategy provide income potential but carry duration and credit risks.
