NEW YORK, March 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Morgan Stanley Investment Management ("MSIM") today announced the launch of its latest ETF, Eaton Vance High Income Municipal (Ticker: "EVYM"), a high yield municipal strategy.

Listed on the Nasdaq, the latest addition to the platform is the eighth active fixed Income ETF brought to market.

"The MSIM ETF platform continues to strongly resonate with both institutional and retail investors as evidenced by growth to $4.7 billion in assets since its inception," said Brian Weinstein, Head of Global Markets at MSIM.
