About NYLIX
Lord Abbett New York Tax Free Fund Class I is a mutual fund dedicated to generating tax-exempt income for investors, with a primary focus on municipal debt issued by the state of New York. Its core objective is to maximize interest income that is exempt from federal, New York State, and New York City personal income taxes. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade municipal bonds—rated BBB/Baa or higher at purchase—but it may allocate up to 20% of its assets to lower-rated, high-yield municipal bonds to enhance return potential. The portfolio may include various bond types, such as general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, municipal leases, and variable-rate demand notes, spanning both insured and uninsured issues. Designed mainly for institutional and high-net-worth investors, the fund has a relatively high minimum investment requirement and features a competitive expense ratio. By prioritizing tax efficiency and credit quality, the fund serves as a specialized vehicle for investors seeking municipal bond exposure with a targeted New York emphasis, playing an important role in income and tax management strategies for eligible investors.
