The NYLI MacKay California Muni Intermediate ETF (MMCA) focuses on investing in intermediate-term municipal bonds issued by California municipalities. This ETF benefits from a unique competitive advantage due to its specialization in California's tax-exempt bonds, which are attractive to investors seeking tax efficiency in a high-tax state.
MMCA generates revenue primarily through management fees based on the total assets under management, which are derived from the interest income of the municipal bonds held. The ETF's focus on California bonds provides a competitive edge, as these bonds often have lower default rates and favorable tax treatment for investors.
