The Truth about Tax Free Muni Bonds 

Tax free muni bonds are always a popular choice among investors. But tax exempt municipal bonds are more in demand than ever during these trying and unpredictable economic times. In addition to the tax-free status municipal bonds enjoy, the safety they provide is doubly essential with the volatility of the stock market.

 

How safe are tax free muni bonds? Try this safe: from 1970 through 2000, less than one-half of one percent of all tax exempt municipal bonds defaulted. Over the same period, almost 10 percent of corporate bonds defaulted. In other words: tax free muni bonds remain the surest of sure bets.

 

Tax free muni bonds are also a wise choice for any age and any investor. The interest on muni bonds is paid twice per year, which means retirees can count on that income. Younger investors, meanwhile, can use tax exempt municipal bonds as the steadier and more reliable part of a portfolio that can include riskier stocks and short- and long-term investments.
