How Bond Insurance Delivers Value for Investors: In The Pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic spurred new demand for insured municipal bonds, and the strong interest appears poised to continue as investors team with states and local governments to help execute the largest wave of U.S. infrastructure investment in a generation. Amidst the uncertainty surrounding municipal fiscal stability and an increase in taxable debt issuance immediately following the outbreak, wrapped bonds offered investors stable ratings, increased liquidity and less volatility. Since then, the market has faced more prolonged volatility brought on by questions about the outlook for inflation, economic growth, and other factors like climate change. Insurance remains a valuable tool for investors and issuers to maintain reliable, affordable capital markets access and peace of mind.
