The VanEck High Yield Muni ETF (HYD) offers a 4.72% federally tax-exempt yield by investing in high-yield municipal bonds, which are exempt from federal income tax. For retirees in the highest 37% tax bracket, this tax-free yield is equivalent to a 7.49% taxable yield, making it an attractive option for income-focused investors. However, HYD carries credit risk due to its below-investment-grade holdings, and its market value can fluctuate with interest rates and credit spreads. Investors should weigh the tax benefits against the risks before investing.
