Five Reasons to Own Assured Guaranty Insured Municipal Bonds

interest
100%
guaranteed

If a bond issuer fails to make a scheduled payment for any reason, Assured Guaranty steps in to make prompt payment, so bondholders are protected. Municipal bond defaults are rare, but they do happen. Recent examples include Detroit, MI; Harrisburg, PA; Stockton, CA; and Puerto Rico.

underwriting

Municipal credit quality and bond structures vary widely. Assured Guaranty underwriters have the resources to evaluate the unique risks of each issue and may be able to negotiate stronger terms and conditions for the bonds we insure.

remediation

Assured Guaranty has highly experienced municipal surveillance specialists. We track every municipal issuer for the decades-long life of their insured bonds. In many cases, we can help resolve and remediate potential problems before they become serious.

Enhanced
market
liquidity

Assured Guaranty has insurance in force on more than $160 billion of securities in the U.S. municipal bond market (as of March 31, 2020). Under typical market conditions, investors trade a weekly average of $2 billion of municipal bonds we insure.

Enhanced

stability

Although bond insurance doesn’t guarantee market value, evidence indicates that insured bonds hold their value better than uninsured bonds. For example, distressed issuers' bonds insured by Assured Guaranty have tended to hold their trading value better than comparable uninsured issues.
