J.P. Morgan Asset Management Launches Intermediate Municipal ETF: JMUB

NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- J.P. Morgan Asset Management today announced the launch of the JPMorgan Municipal ETF (JMUB), an actively managed intermediate municipal ETF that aims to preserve capital while providing income free from federal income taxes.

The strategy invests the majority of its assets in intermediate-term municipal securities, producing income that is exempt from federal income taxation. The fund will focus on investment grade municipal securities, but has the ability to tactically enter the high yield municipal space as opportunities emerge.  

JMUB leverages the expertise of J.P. Morgan's Municipal Bond and Global Liquidity business with over 145 dedicated investment professionals and 30 years of demonstrated results across market cycles.

"Historically, intermediate-term bonds tend to offer diversification and counterbalance when equities decline," said Richard Taormina, head of the tax aware strategies team at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. "JMUB is a great option for investors looking for a steady income stream and can potentially offer less downside risk in a volatile market environment."

JMUB joins the recently launched JPMorgan Ultra-Short Municipal ETF (JMST) to provide investors with a full set of tools to manage their tax-free fixed income exposure.

With these launches, J.P. Morgan Asset Management's ETF suite now features 29 product offerings with over $10 billion in assets under management. J.P. Morgan was awarded "Best New Alternatives ETF" for its JPMorgan Managed Futures Strategy ETF (JPMF) product and earned "Best New International/Global Fixed-Income ETF" for its JPMorgan Global Bond opportunities (JPGB) product at the fifth annual ETF.com Awards held in March 2018.¹
