Advisors are Hungry For Build America Bonds


Advisors are bullish over Build America Bonds and are increasingly steering their clients towards the taxable-bond program, according to Daisy Maxey, in today's Wall Street Journal's Fund Track.

According to Maxey, advisors are currently using the muni-debt instruments in their clients' portfolios of clients in lower tax brackets and for tax-free institutional investors. Unlike many municipal bonds, Build America Bonds' income is subject to tax, but the federal government subsidizes 35 percent of the interest cost of the bonds.
