VTEB: Exempt And Potential Higher Yield
The Vanguard Tax-Exempt Bond Index Fund ETF offers federal tax-exempt income by passively tracking the S&P National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Index. VTEB provides a 3.2%-3.3% tax-exempt yield, high credit quality (79% AAA/AA), and an ultra-low 0.03% expense ratio, making it cost-effective. VTEB's broad diversification, stable municipal bond holdings, and strong index tracking make it ideal for medium- to long-term investors seeking after-tax yield.
VTEB Provides Diversification For Income Seekers
Vanguard Tax-Exempt Bond ETF offers diversified, tax-exempt income with a focus on high-quality, long-duration municipal bonds, appealing to high-net-worth investors seeking stability. The fund's low expense ratio and large asset base provide liquidity and cost efficiency, but total returns and distributions lag peer ETFs. Geographical concentration in New York, California, and Texas introduces some credit and weather-related risks, though overall credit quality remains high.
Potential Opportunities Available in the Muni Bond Market
There could be a silver lining in the volatile clouds hovering above the bond markets. Investors may want to give municipal bonds a closer look given their sound fundamentals.

This article covers ten exchange-traded funds in five Lipper Municipal National Bond Categories and explains why investors might be interested in each category. I expect interest rates to stay higher for longer which favors intermediate duration funds.
A Trifecta of Tailwinds Are Benefiting Municipal Bonds
Right now, the municipal bond space has a trifecta of tailwinds blowing in its favor. That said, the time is right for investors who have not yet considered adding munis to their existing bond portfolio.
Incoming Administration Puts Municipal Bonds in Play
With an incoming presidential administration in 2025, municipal bonds are in play as infrastructure plans and other project initiatives could shape the muni debt space in the new year. On that note, Vanguard has a pair of muni bond-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to consider.
More Wealth Managers Recommending Muni Bonds
In a changing bond market landscape, more wealth managers are recommending municipal bonds. The Federal Reserve is set to ease monetary policy and a new president will take office in 2025.
Don't Shy Away From Munis to Avoid Election Volatility
Forthcoming market volatility from an election year may have fixed income investors shying away from bonds. However, it's an ideal time to get municipal debt exposure.
Don't Let an Election Year Keep You From Munis
A forthcoming presidential election might create some angst among prospective investors in municipal bonds. However, history typically shows that election years don't produce major volatility swings.
