Disadvantages of Investing in Municipal Bonds

This video discusses several disadvantages of investing in municipal bonds. Municipal bonds typically are less liquid than U.S. Treasury securities or corporate bonds, which means they may be harder to sell on the secondary market or come at a significant markup or dealer spread when being purchased. In additon, municipal bonds are frequently callable, which means investors could be subject to reinvestment risk if interest rates fall and the issuer decides to call the bonds (leaving the investor to reinvest the proceeds at the lower rate of interest).
