"One market we like is the municipal bond market. Yields are very attractive in the intermediate to long end of the curve."

Municipal bonds offer tax-advantaged income and historical resilience during economic downturns, making them a superior risk-adjusted alternative to lower-tier corporate credit. LONG. Lock in attractive intermediate-to-long yields in high-quality municipal debt before the Fed eventually pivots to rate cuts. A severe liquidity crisis that causes a broad selloff in all fixed-income assets, temporarily widening municipal spreads.
