Why Invest in Municipal Bonds

High Safety: All bonds have high Bondview Ratings (5) and BV Credit Scores (8-10), indicating they are considered safe investments. This is crucial for risk-averse investors looking for stable returns.

Attractive Yields: The bonds offer yields ranging from 2.87% to 3.98%, which is relatively high for municipal bonds, especially considering their high safety ratings. This combination of safety and yield is particularly appealing.

Diverse Maturities: The bonds have a range of maturity dates, from about 1 year to 17 years from now. This allows investors to choose bonds that match their investment time horizons.

Premium Coupons: Most of the bonds have 5% coupon rates, which are higher than their yields. This can be advantageous in a rising interest rate environment, as it may provide some price stability.

Potential for Price Appreciation: Some bonds are trading below their Bondview Estimated Price, suggesting potential for price appreciation.

Liquidity: While not extremely high, the quantity available for most bonds is sufficient to provide some liquidity for investors.

Diversification: The bonds represent various types of municipal issuers (school districts, cities, states), offering diversification within the municipal bond sector.

Positive Yield Curve: As seen in the yield vs maturity plot, there’s generally a positive relationship between yield and time to maturity, rewarding investors for longer-term commitments.

Strong Credit Quality: The high BV Credit Scores (mostly 9 and 10) suggest these issuers have strong financial positions and are likely to meet their debt obligations.
