A STRAIGHTFORWARD INCOME? INVEST IN HIGHWAYS.
DISCOVER WHY NOW MAY BE A GOOD TIME FOR MUNICIPAL BONDS.
In today’s particularly unstable economy, aiming for secure sources of income is more relevant than ever. Tax-free municipal bonds (often issued to fund major infrastructure projects) offer two significant benefits. They can provide historically low risk, and income from bonds is federally tax free.
POTENTIAL SAFETY OF PRINCIPAL
With municipal bonds, investors are paid back the full face value of their investment at maturity (or earlier, if called) unless the bond defaults. This historically low risk is essential for many investors, particularly those in, or close to, retirement. In April of 2022, Moody’s Investor’s Service found that rated investment-grade municipal bonds had an average cumulative 10-year default rate of just 0.09% between 1970 and 2021. Therefore, they can be an important part of your portfolio.
POTENTIAL TAX-FREE INCOME
Income from municipal bonds is not subject to federal income tax and, depending on where you live, may also be exempt from state and local taxes. Tax-free income can be a big attraction for many investors.
