Fund info

Western Asset Municipal High Income Fund Class A is a mutual fund that primarily focuses on generating high monthly income for investors, with a key feature being that this income is generally exempt from regular federal income taxes. The fund invests mainly in a diversified portfolio of U.S. municipal bonds, including those with a range of credit qualities, which may involve allocation to lower-quality securities that offer higher yields but carry greater credit risk. It employs sector rotation and issuer selection strategies to optimize performance across different segments of the municipal bond market. The fund's objectives include both capital preservation and appreciation, which it pursues by balancing income generation with risk management. Its role in the financial market is to provide investors—particularly those seeking tax-advantaged income—with access to a professionally managed pool of municipal debt securities, supporting infrastructure and public projects across the United States while offering a potential hedge against taxable income liabilities.
