Moderator: Shaun Wurzbach, Senior Director, S&P Indices
Municipal bonds have historically provided income while protecting client’s principal and providing needed portfolio diversification. In this complicated financial environment of low yield and challenges to state and municipal funding, is exposure to municipal bonds still viable?
For those financial advisors who prefer not to sift through massive amounts of information to find the right bonds to add to their clients’ portfolios, muni bond funds and ETFs may provide a solution. This webinar focuses on helping financial advisors better understand and navigate the sea of broad and large municipal bond exposures.
Take this opportunity to learn how to effectively analyze exposure to the U.S. municipal bond market, accessible through ETFs, by looking at data that compares default risks, credit quality and differentiating sector risk.
Hear financial advisors discuss how they determine whether municipal bonds are an appropriate investment for their clients and how they make appropriate allocations for their clients
Learn about the benefits and applicability of bond laddering, as an investment strategy, using municipal bonds with set maturity dates as the rungs of the bond ladder

A Q&A session will follow the presentations.
