VTEB: Simple Municipal Bond Index ETF, Weak Investment Thesis, Better Choices Out There
VTEB is one of the largest municipal bond ETFs in the market, with a tax-advantaged 3.3% dividend yield. VTEB holds high-quality, AA-rated municipal bonds with moderate-to-high rate risk and minimal. Although the headline yield is low, after-tax income seems above-average, at least for investors in taxable accounts in the higher tax brackets. VTEB compares unfavorably to several of its peers, including FLMI and BOXX.
