Municipal Bonds
Municipal Bonds are securities issued by states, counties, cities and other governmental entities for the purpose of financing operations, improving facilities or to raise funding for new projects. Traditionally, interest earned from municipal securities by investors is exempt from federal and state taxes. A large percentage of recent issuance of municipal bonds is in the taxable 'Build America Bonds' sector. The municipal bond market is comprised of over 50,000 issuers with more than $2.8 trillion in outstanding debt.
