The JP Morgan Municipal ETF (JMUB) is an actively-managed fund that invests in municipal securities. The portfolio managers focus on investment-grade securities and aim to deliver tax-free income while managing credit risk and duration, a measure of sensitivity to interest rate changes. Typically bond prices fall when interest rates rise. Bonds have been one of the bright spots for active managers, and many bond ETFs manage to outperform their benchmarks — something stock pickers often fail to achieve. An investment in JMUB is ultimately a bet on the manager’s ability to outperform the market. Actively-managed alternatives include the PIMCO Municipal Bond Strategy Fund (MUNI). Investors looking for index-tracking funds can compare JMUB to the iShares National AMT-Free Muni Bond ETF (MUB) or the Vanguard Tax-Exempt Bond Index ETF (VTEB), the two largest funds in the municipal bond category.
