About ABHFX

The American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund Class F-1 is a mutual fund with a primary focus on generating a high level of current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax. This fund predominantly invests in municipal bonds, allocating at least 80% of its assets to securities free from federal tax liability, although some investments may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Notably, a substantial portion—at least 50%—of the portfolio is comprised of lower-rated debt securities, specifically those rated BBB+ or below (or Baa1 or below), targeting the high yield municipal bond segment and accepting additional credit risk in pursuit of greater income. With an inception date in 2001, the fund is managed by an experienced team following a research-based, diversified approach. The portfolio spans thousands of holdings and is actively managed, with regular monthly dividend distributions and a relatively accessible minimum initial investment. This fund serves investors seeking tax-advantaged income, making it especially relevant for those in higher federal tax brackets. Its strategy and allocation support both municipal infrastructure and community development funding, while contributing to the high yield segment of the municipal bond market.
