The BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust is a closed-end fixed income fund that primarily invests in taxable municipal securities, including Build America Bonds. Its primary objective is to provide high current income, with a secondary goal of capital appreciation. The fund invests at least 80% of its managed assets in taxable municipal securities, which are used by state and local governments to finance infrastructure projects such as schools, roads, and public buildings. It also invests in other securities like U.S. Treasury bonds and corporate debt. This fund plays a significant role in the fixed income market by providing investors with exposure to municipal infrastructure financing while offering a stable income stream.
