About BSNIX
The Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund Institutional Class is an open-end mutual fund specializing in investment grade municipal bonds. Its primary objective is to generate a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax while preserving capital. The fund primarily holds municipal securities issued by state and local governments across the United States, supporting public works and infrastructure projects. Notable features include a relatively low expense ratio, monthly income distributions, and a diversified portfolio typically composed of over a thousand securities across various sectors such as education, utilities, housing, and transportation. The fund targets an intermediate duration profile, offering moderate interest rate sensitivity, with effective duration near 4 years. Its approach emphasizes credit quality—mainly focusing on securities rated investment grade—while maintaining flexibility to allocate a portion to non-investment grade municipals when warranted. In the broader financial market, this fund serves institutional investors seeking tax-efficient income and diversification from equities and taxable bonds, positioning itself as a strategic option for managing interest rate risk and credit exposure within municipal finance.
