Municipal bonds, or “munis,” are debt securities issued by local governments that provide tax-efficient income, often exempt from federal, state, and local taxes. With attractive tax-equivalent yields, strong stability, and unique alpha opportunities, munis offer a compelling option for investors seeking both reliability and income potential.
Investing involves risks. Some investments are riskier than others. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Investors cannot invest directly into an index. Fixed income investments are subject to credit, market, and interest rate risks, and their value will decline as interest rates rise. Investing in municipal bonds involves credit and market risks.
