PML: Discounted Valuation As A Result Of Weak Performance

  • PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II offers diversified, investment-grade municipal bond exposure with tax-exempt income, but is best suited for near-retirees seeking low-risk options. The fund's heavy leverage and weak dividend coverage make it vulnerable to prolonged high interest rates, suppressing both price and income potential. PML trades at a decade-high discount to NAV, presenting a potential entry point for those optimistic about near-term interest rate cuts.
