I maintain my Sell rating on BlackRock Municipal 2030 Target Term due to significant interest-rate risk at termination and a large portion of bonds maturing after 2030. Despite a more balanced risk/reward profile and a current 10% discount, BTT's structure exposes investors to NAV uncertainty at closure. IBMS, with all bonds maturing before its termination, is a better alternative for those seeking a 2030 municipal fund with defined maturity.

We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the first week of March and highlight recent market action. Nearly all CEF sectors were down due to poor risk sentiment, but year-to-date performance remains mostly positive, led by EM assets. BlackRock Municipal 2030 Target Term renewed its share repurchase program.
