Avoiding Taxes Can Be a Bonding Experience

Interest paid on municipal bonds is often tax free, making them an attractive investment option for investors in high income tax brackets. Talk of potential tax changes under a new administration has put a spotlight on municipal bonds, or “munis” as they are commonly known. If tax brackets move up, will municipal bonds become more attractive? How do munis compare to other bond investments in a low interest rate environment? Should we worry about the solvency of state and local governments who issue these bonds?

We will seek to answer these questions and more as Travis Upton facilitates a fun, non-taxing discussion with Nick Foley, Senior Portfolio Manager with Segall Bryant, and Hamill and Portfolio Manager for the Segall Bryant and Hamill Municipal Opportunities Fund.
