There can be no assurance that any investment or asset class will provide positive performance over any period of time. Investing in municipal bond products involves risks, including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, the risk that interest rates will rise, causing bond prices to fall; and credit risk, the risk that an issuer of a municipal bond will be unable to make interest and principal payments when due. High yield or lower rated municipal bonds are subject to heightened credit risk and risk of default. As with any investment, loss of principal is a risk of investing. Please consult a tax advisor regarding the suitability of municipal investments in an overall portfolio. Income may be subject to state and local taxes and the alternative minimum tax.
