About NAWSX
Nuveen California High Yield Municipal Bond Fund Class C is a mutual fund focused primarily on generating high levels of current income that is exempt from regular federal and California personal income taxes. The fund achieves this by investing in a diversified portfolio of municipal bonds, with a particular emphasis on those rated below investment grade or considered medium to lower rated. This high-yield approach targets bonds that offer attractive yields, incorporating a mix of credit qualities, liquidity, and future prospects within the California municipal market. Notably, the fund strategically uses leverage through inverse floating rate securities issued in tender option bond transactions to seek enhanced yield and duration. Its core holdings often include essential housing, development, and infrastructure projects throughout the state, reflecting its direct impact on California’s public sector and community development. This fund plays an important role for investors seeking tax-advantaged income and broad exposure to California’s municipal bond market, while also navigating higher risk and expense levels associated with its high-yield orientation.
