A municipal bond is a bond issued by a city or other local government, or Iheir agen
cies. Potential issuers of municipal bonds incUde cities, counties, redevelopment
agencies, special-purpose districts, school districts, public utility districts, publicly
owned airports and seaports, and any other governmental entity (or group of gov
ernments) below the state level. Municipal bonds may be general obligations of the
issuer or secured by specified revenues, f^unicipal bonds are subject to availability
& change in price. They are subject to market and interest rate risk if sold prior to
maturity. Bond values will decline as interest rates rise. Interest income received by
holders of municipal bonds is often exempt from the federal income tax and from
the income tax of the state in which they are issued, Interest income may be subject
to the alternative minimum tax and other state and local taxes may apply. So what
happens if an insured bond defaults? The insurance policies state that the insurer
will pay timely principal and interest. Translated, this means that the insurer will
make all payments as though nothing happened to the underlying issuer Insured
bonds will typically have a lower interest rate than non-insured bonds because of
this additional protection. Investors should consider the credit-worthiness of the
insurer as well as that of the issuer when considering insured bonds.
