Municipal Bond Fund Investing. Consider the Advantages.


1. Tax-Advantaged Status: Sometimes Double, Even Triple, Tax-Free Income
Municipal bonds are tax-free at the federal level and often the state and local level for in-state residents. When you consider that federal and state tax rates tend to rise, this tax-advantaged benefit can make municipal bonds attractive to investors in various tax brackets.
   
2. Municipal Bond Default Rates are Rare
Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia state bonds are 30 times less likely to default than a AAA-rated corporate bond due to their high quality credit characteristics2.
   
3. Monthly Tax-Free Income and Total Return
MTB Municipal Bond Funds distribute tax-free income monthly instead of through semi-annual coupon payments.
   
4. Professional Expertise, Diversification and Access to Institutional Bond Pricing
Mutual fund investing provides investors with the advantage of professional money management and cost-effective diversification. As a result of its larger size and institutional status, mutual fund managers can also often purchase these investments at more attractive prices than those available to individual investors.
