A Quiet, Tax-Free Haven Is Braced for Change

Municipal bonds are the foundation of how American cities and states operate. And a big reason investors love “munis” is their tax-free status.

They discuss the storied history of munis, how they figure into portfolios—and how that favored tax-free status could be at risk in President Donald Trump’s second term.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
