Graham Value Investor
van Kampen There are literally a few hundred closed-end funds that only own municipal bonds. They trade just like stocks in the U.S. Many of them use a bit of leverage to goose the returns. For example, the ones I’ll show you today pay a tax-free 5.5% (on average), which would be a taxable equivalent yield at the highest tax bracket of over 8%.
From there, many of these closed-end funds trade at significant discounts to the underlying value of their portfolios. Therefore, we get to pay less than a dollar for every dollar we spend to buy investments paying us in excess of 8% interest (taxable equivalent).
That jacks up our return even more, bringing us to about 8.5%.
Like I said, there are hundreds of municipal bond funds. One company has a few similar closed-end municipal bond funds that use a little leverage and trade at discounts to their underlying values. It’s Van Kampen.
ETF connectThere are many of these funds trading at discounts to “Net Asset Value,” and there are some that are exempt from your particular state taxes as well. You can learn more and search for one at the excellent website www.etfconnect.com under “Find a Fund.”
