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.
