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.
During 2012, Assured Guaranty insured 1,160 of the new municipal bond issues sold, representing more than $13 billion of insured par. During 2013, through April 12, Assured Guaranty insured more than 300 new municipal new issues and secondary market positions, for a total of $1.8 billion of insured par.
