About the BMN bond portfolio
Blackrock 2037 Municipal Target Term ETF holds a portfolio of bonds. They yield 8.01% to maturity, have an average coupon of 5.00% and an average maturity of 14.0 years. With an effective duration of 6.79 years, a one-percentage-point rise in interest rates would lower the fund's price by about 6.8%, and a fall of the same size would raise it by about as much.
Because the bonds trade at an average of 107.13 per 100 of face value, prices drift down toward par as the bonds mature, which takes roughly −3.35% a year off the coupon income. The current yield is 4.66%. Over the next 12 months, rates could rise by about 1.18 percentage points before the price drop would cancel out a year of yield. The worst 12-month return in the fund's price history was −10.0%, and the worst calendar year 2023 (+1.9%).
The fund reports 126.0% of assets in bonds and a small short cash position, typical for funds that buy mortgage-backed securities through “to be announced” (TBA) forward contracts, which are paid for later.
