The AB Tax-Aware Short Duration ETF (TAFI) is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund that invests primarily in a mix of municipal and taxable fixed-income securities, with a focus on short-duration holdings. Under normal conditions, the fund commits at least 80% of its total assets to municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax, though certain holdings may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).
As an actively-managed ETF in the municipal national short-duration category, TAFI distinguishes itself from passively index-tracking fixed-income ETFs through manager-driven security selection. The fund, listed on the NYSE since its launch in 2022, offers investors tax-aware exposure to short-term municipal debt, which is typically sought after by investors in higher federal tax brackets seeking to reduce taxable income from fixed-income holdings. TAFIs strategy of blending tax-exempt municipal bonds with selected taxable fixed-income securities allows the portfolio managers flexibility to manage after-tax returns rather than purely pre-tax yields.

- Tax-exempt income demand surges ahead of potential federal tax rate changes
