About MFLMX

BlackRock Short Duration Muni Fund Investor C is an open-end municipal bond mutual fund designed to deliver federally tax-exempt income while emphasizing capital preservation through short interest rate exposure. The strategy primarily invests in investment‑grade municipal bonds and notes, including variable rate demand obligations, typically with maturities under ten years, aligning the portfolio with the short end of the muni curve to manage rate sensitivity. The fund is benchmarked to the Bloomberg Municipal Bond 1–5 Year Index and is categorized in the Muni National Short peer group, reflecting its focus on diversified, high-quality state and local issuers across the U.S. Portfolio construction is supported by a dedicated municipal credit research team that performs proprietary analysis and assigns internal ratings independent of major agencies, aiming to control credit risk while maintaining income generation. Launched in 1979, the fund has a long operating history and seeks consistent, tax-advantaged cash flows for investors who value stability in net asset value and shorter duration characteristics within the municipal market.
