Municipal bonds experienced a drop in 2022 due to rising interest rates, presenting a buying opportunity. Muni closed-end funds have higher portfolio yields, but net investment income has been affected by increased leverage costs.

Municipal CEFs remain exceptionally cheap, with discounts wider than 99% of historical observations. The risk-reward in the taxable bond CEF space is on the downside, while the upside potential in municipal CEFs is significant, but dependent on a shift in Fed policy and inflation.
