About CHHYX

Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund Institutional 3 Class is an open-ended mutual fund focused on the U.S. fixed income market. Its primary objective is to deliver a total return comprised of current income that is exempt from federal income tax, alongside capital appreciation. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in high yield municipal securities, which typically consist of medium grade or below investment grade bonds, or unrated bonds judged to be of similar quality. These bonds are issued by municipalities and related entities, often to finance public projects. The portfolio is broadly diversified, with more than 280 holdings and exposure across various maturities and sectors. Notable features include a relatively high yield compared to investment grade municipal funds, a moderate expense ratio, and professional management supported by extensive research. By emphasizing below investment grade municipal bonds, the fund plays a significant role for institutional and sophisticated investors seeking federally tax-exempt income and willing to accept higher credit and interest rate risks. It benchmarks its performance against indices such as the Bloomberg High Yield Municipal Bond Index, reflecting its aim to provide competitive returns within the high yield municipal category.
