With the new year nearly a quarter finished, a variety of trends and themes have already started to make themselves known. For the normally sleepy municipal bond sector, these trends have created a pretty volatile and difficult environment to navigate. Tailwinds and headwinds have churned the seas of the normally calm waters of state and local government credit. There are crosswinds for sure.
For investors with big positions in muni bond holdings, reducing these stormy seas is paramount.
Luckily, there are ways to navigate these crosswinds and potentially finish the year with some gains, all while collecting income. With these strategies in mind, munis can go back to being a boring, income generator for a portfolio.
