About WHYIX

The Allspring High Yield Municipal Bond Fund Institutional Shares is a mutual fund primarily focused on municipal fixed income investments. Its core objective is to deliver high current income that is exempt from federal income tax and to seek capital appreciation. The fund achieves this by investing at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of municipal securities—particularly those rated BBB or lower—thus offering exposure to the higher-yield segment of the municipal bond market. A distinguishing feature of this fund is its active management approach, which combines bottom-up credit research with top-down macroeconomic analysis to manage duration, yield-curve positioning, sector allocation, and credit quality. The fund’s portfolio is constructed to capitalize on changing market trends and pricing inefficiencies through extensive credit analysis and relative-value assessments. With over 150 million USD in assets and distributing income monthly, the Allspring High Yield Municipal Bond Fund plays a specialized role for institutional investors and others seeking federally tax-exempt income with the potential for additional returns via selective credit exposure in U.S. municipal bonds.
