Municipal Traders Perspective

 
The municipal market is producing yields not seen since 2013.

Current benchmark levels in 10 years are 125 basis points MORE than the 10 year average.

While banks don’t all have excess liquidity to take advantage of these levels, many individuals are jumping at the chance to preserve their cash versus potentially taking a hit in the equity markets.

Did you know you can achieve almost a 7% taxable equivalent yield in above investment grade tax-free municipals?  Take a look at the following offerings in Kansas and Missouri.  Similar yields can be found in many other states as well.
