My Notes

• "As rates rise, the attractiveness of tax-exempt bonds may diminish, prompting investors to seek higher yields elsewhere."
• Moat: APMU's competitive advantage is moderate, primarily driven by its tax-exempt income appeal, but faces pressure from lower-cost alternatives.
• value - investors seeking tax-efficient income and stability in their portfolios are drawn to municipal bonds.
• Rising interest rates typically lead to falling bond prices, which can negatively impact the ETF's NAV and investor sentiment.
