Jpmorgan High Yield Municipal ETF earns an Above Average Process Pillar rating.
The leading factor in the rating is its parent firm's impressive long-term risk-adjusted performance, as shown by the firm's average 10-year Morningstar Rating of 3.3 stars. The parent firm's five-year risk-adjusted success ratio of 57% also influences the rating. The measure indicates the percentage of a firm's funds that survived and outperformed their respective category's median Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return for the period. Their respectable success ratio suggests that the firm does well for investors and that this fund may benefit from that. Lastly, the process is limited by the experience of the management team, which averages five years at this fund.
Compared with other funds in the High Yield Muni Morningstar Category, this fund consistently holds a significantly larger cash position over the past few years. But in terms of long-term interest-rate sensitivity, it does not have a portfolio bias and hews closely to peers.
This strategy has a 4.3% 12-month yield, higher than its average peer's 4.1%. Plus, its 30-day SEC yield (a standardized, point-in-time estimate of the fund’s future income return) sits at 4.6%. Higher yields tend to indicate higher credit risk. But that isn't always the case. Over the past 12 months, the average yield of the fund has been higher than the average yield of its Morningstar Category peers. The portfolio's average surveyed credit quality is on par with peers, with both the fund and the average being rated BB.
