Established to provide investors with tax-exempt income, the fund primarily targets municipal obligations that are rated below investment grade or unrated securities deemed comparable, while also maintaining the flexibility to hold investment-grade bonds for portfolio balance.
MHI’s investment approach centers on identifying value across a wide array of municipal issuers, including both general obligation and revenue bonds. The fund seeks opportunities in sectors such as transportation, utilities, healthcare and education, employing fundamental credit analysis and active sector rotation to enhance yield and manage credit exposure. Geographic diversification is achieved by investing in municipal issues from various states and municipalities, reducing the impact of localized economic shifts.
The fund is actively managed by a team affiliated with Pioneer Investments, leveraging the firm’s municipal market research and credit-analysis capabilities. Portfolio managers conduct ongoing reviews of issuer creditworthiness, covenant protections and structural features of bonds to select securities that offer attractive tax-exempt yields. MHI may also employ modest leverage within the constraints of its investment guidelines to potentially increase income generation.
