MUB Vs. VTEB: Do Not Miss VTEB's Buy Window Before Interest Rate Cuts

I rate both MUB and VTEB as buys, expecting capital appreciation from anticipated rate cuts to 3.25–3.5% by Q1 2026. VTEB's longer maturity profile positions it for higher performance as rates decline, making it my preferred pick for this rate-cut thesis. Both ETFs offer high credit quality, strong liquidity, and diversification, but recent returns have been weak due to delayed rate cuts.

MUB: An Unlevered MUNI Vehicle Suitable To The Credit Cycle

We've expected credit spreads to deteriorate for quite some time. In our view, new economic data, a technical lag in spread activity, and the Iran war might consolidate the argument. While re-inflation risk has to be acknowledged, we think investors will stay in and migrate to higher-quality bonds from riskier assets. The iShares National Muni Bond ETF is a prime candidate, showing less spread risk than investment grade bonds and lower volatility than intermediate-term treasury ETF, IEF.

MUB: Inclined To Bet Against Excessive Inflation

Maintaining a neutral stance on iShares National Muni Bond ETF due to opposing forces: Structural funding concerns versus diminished inflation worries. MUB's seven-year duration makes it sensitive to yield changes, but credit risk remains minimal as most holdings are AA-rated, and credit spreads have been under control. Inflation risks are subdued thanks to lower oil prices and modest U.S. import exposure, easing one major headwind for fixed income.
