About NVHAX

Nuveen Short Duration High Yield Municipal Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on providing high current income exempt from regular federal income taxes. The fund primarily invests in municipal bonds, notably including a significant portion rated below investment grade, aiming to balance yield with controlled interest rate sensitivity by maintaining an effective portfolio duration of less than 4.5 years. Capital appreciation serves as a secondary objective when consistent with its income focus. The fund employs active management and may opportunistically use leverage through inverse floating rate securities to enhance income potential. With over 2,500 holdings and net assets nearing $5 billion, the fund covers a diverse range of issuers, including various state and local government entities, often targeting sectors needing infrastructure development. Since its launch in 2013, it has established a role as a specialized option for investors seeking tax-advantaged high yield exposure within the municipal bond market, delivering monthly income distributions and holding a stable position among U.S. municipal high yield funds.
