Municipal bonds can be an important part of a diversified investment portfolio.
The Benefits of Fixed Income
For the right investors, municipal bonds can be an important part of an effective investment portfolio. Often exempt from federal taxation, these fixed income securities may also be free of state and local taxes for investors residing in the state where the bonds were issued.*
For investors in relatively high tax brackets, the yields of municipal bonds often exceed the after-tax yields of comparable quality corporate bonds.
Also known as “munis,” these bonds are debt obligations issued by state and local governments as well as other governmental entities to fund projects such as building highways, hospitals, schools and sewer systems.
A growing number of municipalities and municipal agencies also issue taxable bonds that provide yields comparable to those of other taxable fixed income securities such as corporate bonds and/or bonds issued by agencies of the federal government.

*While interest on municipal bonds is generally exempt from federal income tax, it may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, or state or local taxes. Profits and losses on federally tax-exempt bonds may be subject to capital gains tax treatment. In addition, certain municipal bonds (such as Build America Bonds) are issued without a federal tax exemption, which subjects the related interest income to federal income tax. Municipal bond investments may involve market risk, credit risk and interest rate risk. A credit rating of a security is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to review, revisions, suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
