Municipal bond closed-end funds

Strategic Profile

RiverNorth believes closed-end funds offer investors the ability to purchase a diversified fund with potential for additional returns through changes in the fund's market price relative to Net Asset Value, combining this structure with MacKay Municipal Managers' municipal bond expertise. The fund allocates assets between tactical municipal closed-end fund strategy and municipal bond income strategy, targeting security selection, sector rotation, yield curve positioning and duration management in investment-grade municipal debt securities.
