About VANTX

JPMorgan New York Tax Free Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund that invests primarily in New York municipal bonds. Its main purpose is to provide monthly dividend income that is largely exempt from federal, New York State, and New York City personal income taxes, making it particularly attractive to investors residing in New York who seek tax-advantaged income streams. The fund targets a dollar-weighted maturity between three and ten years, resulting in an intermediate-duration portfolio and balancing income generation with moderate interest rate risk. It holds a diversified mix of municipal debt securities, including a significant allocation to high-quality, AAA-rated bonds in recent years, which helps reduce credit risk relative to peers. Managed by a team within JPMorgan since 2024, the fund’s strategy aims to preserve capital while generating tax-free income through monthly distributions. Its role in the market centers on serving the needs of tax-sensitive investors and offering exposure to the municipal bond sector, which supports financing for essential public projects throughout New York.
