AAM Viewpoints – State-Specific Municipal Bond Portfolios: 3 Reasons They Might Not Be a Good Investment
Investors seem to naturally gravitate toward municipal bond portfolios that are only invested in the state in which they live. There are several common reasons given for choosing state-specific municipal bond portfolios but regardless of the rationale they generally fall into two camps:
I certainly understand the reasoning and the logic involved in making this decision, but I would like to suggest a couple reasons why an investor may want to consider investing, at least a portion of their investable portfolio in general market out-of-state holdings.
Investors may want to consider investing in general market municipal portfolios to achieve diversification and for greater choice and availability of municipal bond offerings while being able in many cases to meet or achieve their state income tax hurdle rates.
As always, please consult a financial consultant and/or a tax advisor before making any investment decisions.

An investment in Municipal Bonds is subject to numerous risks, including higher interest rates, economic recession, deterioration of the municipal bond market, possible downgrades, changes to the tax status of the bonds and defaults of interest and/or principal. A bond’s call price could be less than the price paid for the bond. Bonds typically fall in value when interest rates rise and rise in value when interest rates fall. Bond insurance covers interest and principal payments when due and does not insure or guarantee the value of any bond in any way.
