JPMorgan Serves Up a 'Spicy Cocktail'


In Friday's Wall Street Journal Fund Track column, Katy Burne features a newly launched J.P. Morgan [see profile] mutual fund, Tax-Aware Income Opportunities Fund. Launched last month, the fund "promises a spicy cocktail for muni-bond investors," Burne writes, noting that the fund invests 80 percent of its assets in tax-exempt muni bonds and the remaining 20 percent in taxable bonds, credit derivatives and other hedges.

William Eigen, co-PM of the fund, tells Burne that the portfolio mix had not been tried earlier because muni bond yields had been steadily moving south for several years.
