It was only a matter of time. PIMCO's 3 national municipal bond CEFs were having some of the worst NAV performances of all muni bond CEFs over the past year. And yet, PIMCO had been maintaining their ultra-high distributions as if there was no problem.

2022 has not been kind to municipal bonds so far with an unusually sharp drawdown to kick off the year, driven by persistent inflation and a hawkish Fed.

The muni CEF space is largely buy-and-hold (or long-term rental agreements). But right now, there's a lot of dislocation in the sector. Some funds are extremely expensive while others are relatively cheap. Making swaps makes sense to rotate into the better opportunities and see more discount closing tailwinds.
