Higher-income investors benefit the most, as the value of the tax exemption increases with an individual's marginal tax rate. </p><p>Nuveen AMT-Free Municipal Credit Income Fund invests primarily in municipal bonds issued by state and local governments, aiming to generate steady tax-advantaged income for shareholders.One structural feature of municipal closed-end funds is that their shares trade on exchanges and can trade at a discount or premium to the fund’s net asset value (NAV). Because of this structure, investor demand for tax-exempt income can influence the market price independently of the underlying bond portfolio. When income demand increases, discounts can narrow, which then boosts shareholder returns even if the value of the underlying municipal bonds changes only modestly.</p><p>For investors, it will be important to watch how the fund’s market price compares to its NAV. Changes in the discount or premium can materially affect returns alongside the income generated by the municipal bond portfolio, making the fund’s market valuation an important factor to monitor.</p><h2>Should you buy stock in Nuveen AMT-Free Municipal Credit Income Fund right now?</h2>
