About PYMCX

PIMCO High Yield Municipal Bond Fund Class C is a mutual fund focused on generating high levels of current income that is exempt from federal income tax. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of below investment-grade municipal bonds—commonly referred to as high-yield or "junk" municipal securities—issued by states, local governments, and their agencies across the United States. Its primary function is to offer investors access to a segment of the municipal bond market with higher yields, albeit with higher associated credit and market risk. The fund typically maintains a high allocation to municipal bonds, with over 90% of assets in bond holdings and a modest cash position. Sectors represented in the portfolio range from general obligation and revenue bonds to specialized project-backed municipal debt, impacting public infrastructure, education, healthcare, and other essential services. By providing income largely exempt from federal taxes, the fund serves tax-sensitive investors seeking enhanced yield potential within the municipal debt market, and plays a significant role in diversifying fixed income allocations with exposure to higher-risk municipal securities.
