About WHYMX
The Allspring High Yield Municipal Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund specializing in municipal fixed income securities. Its primary objective is to generate high current income that is exempt from federal income tax, along with potential for capital appreciation. The fund achieves this by investing predominantly in a diversified portfolio of municipal bonds, with more than half of its assets typically allocated to securities rated BBB or lower—commonly referred to as high yield or below investment grade. Key features of this fund include an emphasis on active management, integrating both bottom-up credit research and top-down macroeconomic analysis to inform security selection and portfolio positioning. The fund's managers focus on optimizing duration, yield-curve positioning, sector and credit-quality allocation, and security selection to enhance total return. It is broadly diversified, with recent holdings spanning over 160 municipal issues nationwide drawn from various sectors such as public infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, and education. The Allspring High Yield Municipal Bond Fund Class A is designed for investors seeking tax-efficient income and diversified exposure to the municipal high yield markets, playing a significant role in portfolios aiming to enhance after-tax returns through municipal debt instruments.
