About FMOAX

Federated Hermes Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund Class A Shares is a mutual fund specializing in the municipal fixed income segment. Its primary objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income that is generally exempt from federal regular income tax. The fund achieves this by investing a significant portion of its assets in long-term, tax-exempt municipal securities, with an emphasis on medium-quality and non-investment-grade bonds. This strategy is designed to offer potential yields higher than those typically available from high-quality municipal bonds, although it entails increased credit and market risk. The fund typically maintains a diversified portfolio across numerous municipal issuers and sectors, often holding hundreds of securities with varying maturities to manage risk and optimize income generation. With monthly dividend distributions, the fund serves individuals and institutions seeking tax-advantaged income, particularly those willing to accept additional risk in exchange for enhanced yield potential. Its role in the market is significant for investors aiming to maximize after-tax returns, especially in higher tax brackets, while supporting the financing of a wide range of public projects such as infrastructure, education, and health care at the state and local levels.
