Financial journalist opinion

BAB: Perfectly Sensible, The Execution Doesn't Work

BAB is a well-constructed, diversified ETF focused on taxable municipal bonds, prioritizing investment-grade credit and moderate maturities. Despite sound design, BAB's yield (around 4%) is lower than alternatives like USFR, BBN, SGOV, or SHYM, given similar or less risk. The fund's conservative approach limits yield; I believe more selective or active strategies can outperform broad muni index funds like BAB.

BAB: Taxable Munis Offering Some Value In 2025 (Rating Upgrade)

Evaluating Invesco Taxable Municipal Bond ETF (BAB) as a "buy" due to its quality yield and relative value in a volatile equity market. Historically lukewarm on BAB, but current market conditions and equity volatility make it a more attractive investment for 2025 and beyond. BAB offers a passive investment approach, contrasting with leveraged CEFs, and tracks US dollar-denominated taxable municipal debt.

BAB: A Year Later, I'd Still Tread Carefully On Taxable Munis/Build America Bonds

Invesco Taxable Municipal Bond ETF is a passive ETF that tracks the performance of US dollar-denominated taxable municipal debt. The outlook for BAB is modest, with a potential for 2-3% returns, which is weak compared to inflation and cash offerings. Low levels of issuance in the taxable municipal bond sector could be a bullish catalyst for the Fund.

BAB: A Muni Bond Play, But Suboptimal Results

Invesco Taxable Municipal Bond ETF offers exposure to the municipal bond market, providing diversification and potential higher yields. The BAB ETF invests primarily in high-grade bonds, with a concentration in the Local Authorities sector, which can be both a strength and a risk. BAB has underperformed compared to other muni bond funds, potentially due to its duration and sampling strategy, making it a less exciting investment option.
