As of Jul 22, 2026
California high-yield municipal bonds rebounded in Q2 2026 with solid gains driven by attractive yields and healthy supply/demand. Security selection in workforce housing, charter schools, and hospitals drove outperformance. Despite mounting state budget pressures from spending growth outpacing revenues, strong reserves provide cushion. The manager maintains selective positioning in higher-quality issuers within energy prepay, development districts, and multifamily housing sectors offering attractive value.
The fund seeks total return and current income exempt from federal and California income taxes through high-yield municipal bonds, focusing on higher-quality issuers with financial flexibility in sectors like energy prepay, development districts, and multifamily housing that offer attractive value without significant credit risk.
The manager expects municipal issuance and investor demand to remain strong, supported by infrastructure investment, affordability-driven housing needs, and refinancing activity. While uneven revenue growth and reduced federal support may create headwinds to credit fundamentals, strong reserves should provide a cushion. The manager maintains a cautious and selective approach, favoring higher-quality issuers with financial flexibility. The tone is moderately constructive with measured optimism about the supply/demand backdrop, tempered by awareness of emerging fiscal pressures.
