Muni Bonds – Credit Ratings vs. Corporate BondsRatings agencies use a double standard in rating municipal bond debtThe rating agencies own studies show governmental, or municipal, issuers default much less than corporate issuers.Municipal bonds rated Baa by Moody’s have experienced a default rate of only 0.13 percent, while corporate bonds rated Aaa by Moody’s have defaulted at four times that rate, or 0.52 percent.Corporate bonds rated AAA by S&P have defaulted at almost twice the rate of municipal bonds rated BBB (0.60 percent and 0.32 percent, respectively). Of all general obligation municipal bonds rated by Moody’s between 1970 and 2006, only one issuer defaulted.For a tax-backed bond rated BBB or better by S&P, the likelihood of default over a 20-year period is only 0.03 percent.
The steepness of the municipal curve implies a 70bps increase in 1 year municipal rates per year over the next 5 yearsMuni Bonds – Term Structure
Corporate Bonds - focus on cash to CDS Basis not credit ratings
