Municipal bonds are loved because they let investors keep more cash.
U.S. News & World Report
Line your pockets with municipal bonds.
Municipal bonds, issued by government entities such as states and counties, enjoy a special place in the hearts of income investors for one simple reason – they let investors keep more cash. Municipal bonds are typically exempt from federal taxation, and if issued within your state, the interest will also be state tax exempt. An investor in the 24% federal tax bracket would need a nearly 4% yield in a normally taxed bond to get the same take-home yield as a 3% municipal bond. The best provide steady income and balance out a risky stock portfolio. Mark Marinella, fund manager at Capital Group, prefers “actively managed, long-term strategies.” As volatility roils the stock market, here are seven of the best municipal bond funds for tax-exempt income.
