Municipal bond closed-end funds (CEFs) are seeing narrowing discounts, with NXP and MHF offering the most compelling value in the space at present. Leverage costs are easing as the Fed cuts rates, which should improve distribution coverage and make leveraged muni CEFs more attractive. Of course, there are always risks that include increased volatility from leverage and sensitivity to long-term Treasury rates, but we've seen long-term rate stabilization within a fairly narrow range.

We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the second week of February and highlight recent market action. Most CEF sectors rose, driven by tighter credit spreads and higher stocks, with EM Equity and Preferreds leading month-to-date gains. Virtus Total Return Fund's tender offer resulted in a high 31% pro-ration factor, generating a 6% annualized alpha, highlighting its generous buy-back terms.

The unleveraged municipal CEF, Nuveen Municipal Income, is trading at a 4.65% yield and a 7.5% discount. Despite the expectation of the Fed cutting the policy rate, unleveraged muni CEFs remain attractive options in income portfolios. NMI is a small fund with a modest 8.7 duration with a portfolio consisting of GO and revenue bonds, and an above-average holding of unrated securities.
