Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares financial
"330 remarketable variable rate munifund term preferred shares (the "RVMTP Shares")"
A remarketable variable rate munifund term preferred share is a type of preferred stock issued by a fund that invests in municipal (tax-exempt) debt, which pays a dividend that resets periodically with market rates and has a defined term or maturity. Think of it as an adjustable-rate certificate that can be resold on scheduled “remarketing” dates; it matters to investors because it offers tax-advantaged income with changing yields, but carries interest-rate sensitivity, liquidity risk at remarketing, and credit risk tied to the municipal holdings.
