Do you struggle to keep on top of your muni bond credit monitoring?

Compliance with regulations governing client investments requires assuring that a bond is appropriate for a client portfolio and monitoring that this suitability remains the case over the lifetime of the investment.

For muni bonds, this means an investment firm must know all the details of a bond and conduct ongoing surveillance on the credit. Reliance on commercial credit ratings reports is not sufficient. Meeting these requirements can involve trying to access and assimilate multiple sources of data and/or subscribe to expensive analytical solutions.

This is especially problematic in today’s markets, where many muni credits have been pummelled by the COVID pandemic and the situation remains dynamic and fast moving (as described in our recent blog Investing In Distressed COVID Opportunity Municipal Bonds).
