HYD: Solid High-Yield Bond ETF, But Better Choices Out There (Rating Downgrade)

HYD is a muni bond ETF, investing in both high-yield and investment-grade muni bonds. It has a tax-advantaged 4.4% yield, which should provide above-average income to some investors in higher tax brackets. It seems broadly inferior to FLMI, another muni bond ETF, with higher-quality holdings and stronger performance.
