Recommendation

hold

This filing details a routine, planned redemption of a specific series of preferred shares and an amendment to a purchase agreement. It does not contain information that would significantly alter the investment thesis for Invesco Advantage Municipal Income Trust II's common stock or Bank of America's shares. The events are expected and procedural, thus warranting a 'hold' recommendation as there's no new material information to suggest a change in investment strategy based solely on this filing.
