Municipal Traders Perspective

 

Municipal yields continue to look attractive for those financial institutions or individuals looking to get into the tax-exempt space. 

4% plus and occasionally 5% yields are becoming more prolific and getting more attention.  Here is a sample of where tax-free and the taxable equivalent yields fall along the curve.

A/AA rated generic G.O.  BQ Yields

 

Tax-Free Yields Taxable Equivalent Yields*
2026 4.00 6.75%
2027 3.90 6.58%
2028 3.90 6.58%
2029 3.90 6.58%
2030 4.00 6.75%
2031 4.05 6.84%
2032 4.10 6.92%
2033 4.15 7.01%
2034 4.20 7.09%
2035 4.25 7.18%
2036 4.40 7.43%
2037 4.45 7.51%
2038 4.50 7.60%
2039 4.55 7.68%
2040 4.65 7.85%
Assuming the top tax bracket 40.8%
 

Take a look at the taxable equivalent yields from the beginning of the year to now.  7.50 – 8% taxable equivalents look pretty attractive locked in for 15-20 years and compare well to historical returns of the equity markets.
