NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BlackRock announced today the planned termination of the iShares iBonds Dec 2025 Term Muni Bond ETF which includes the following timelines for trading, net-asset value (NAV) calculation and expected liquidation: Ticker Fund name Exchange Last day of trading Final NAV calculation date Liquidation date IBMN iShares® iBonds® Dec 2025 Term Muni Bond ETF Cboe BZX 12/01/25 12/01/25 12/04/25 iBonds ETFs are designed to cease trading and mature during a specific maturity wind.

Municipal bonds are back to offer compelling risk-adjusted opportunities, but future decisions from Washington can either act as a tailwind or headwind. Municipal bond funds saw net inflows during 2024, first annual inflow since 2021—which was a record year. 2024 was a record year in municipal bond issuance. With attractive yields, the market may start to pay more attention to tax-equivalent yield advantages offered through municipal debt.

Specific to the muni market, perhaps the biggest surprise this year has been new issue supply that is running well ahead of expectations, up roughly 40% from last year. We think this increased summer issuance is likely the result of deals getting pulled forward, as issuers may be cautious about coming to market later in the fall ahead of what is likely to be an uncertain U.S. political climate. While municipal credit quality has already peaked, it is entering this period of moderating economic growth from a position of strength.

For investors seeking momentum, iShares iBonds Dec 2025 Term Muni Bond ETF IBMN is probably on radar now. The fund just hit a 52-week high, which is up roughly 2.2% from its 52-week low price of $25.99/share.
