Assured Guaranty is the leading provider of municipal bond insurance in the United States.
Our municipal credit enhancement products include:
Municipal bond insurance policies covering principal and interest, for both new issues and those already trading in the secondary market
Surety policies that take the place of cash-funded reserves in municipal bond transactions
Specialized financial guaranty policies, such as swap sureties guaranteeing a municipal issuer’s obligations under a swap agreement with a broker-dealer
We guarantee a wide range of municipal bond types supported either by tax revenues or revenues from essential public projects or services. We insure both tax-exempt and taxable municipal bonds, such as Build America Bonds.
While we have two platforms – AGM, a municipal-only bond insurer, and AGC, a diversified provider -- we are one team, applying a uniform underwriting standard and dedicated to the highest level of customer service. In addition to our large municipal bond insurance department in our New York headquarters, we maintain a fully staffed western regional office in San Francisco.
Additionally, through our Sure-Bid program, we simplify administrative procedures for qualified bidders in the competitive-bid market for both insured and uninsured municipal bonds.
In the first eight months of 2011, Assured Guaranty insured more than 740 transactions, representing $8.4 billion in par insured. Follow the links below for information on recent insured municipal bonds guaranteed by AGM or AGC.
