1) Standard municipal bond valuation methods do not properly account for taxes, resulting in misleading risk assessments. Tax-integrated valuation that considers after-tax cash flows and taxes payable at maturity is needed.
2) Ignoring taxes can lead to underestimating interest rate sensitivity and overestimating option-adjusted spreads of municipal bonds. Proper risk analysis requires tax-neutral valuation and stripping out embedded call options from benchmark yield curves.
3) Tax management strategies for municipal bonds, like tax-loss harvesting, require scenario-dependent tax-neutral prices to determine optimal transaction timing. Institutional preferences for certain bond structures can also impact risk if standard analytics are used.

What Makes Munis Different?
Held in taxable accounts
Because interest is tax-exempt
Gains and losses are taxable
Large gain taxed at maturity as ordinary income, at roughly 40%
Market participants are aware of adverse effect of tax
Prices of discount munis are deeply depressed
But commercial software systems are in tax-denial
Reported ‘Greeks’ and spreads are materially misleading
3. 3
Tax-Neutral Valuation
10-year 2.50% Muni, 10-year rate 3%
Pretax value: 95.71
Tax on 4.29% gain at 40%: 1.72
PV of tax: 1.28
Tax-adjusted price: 94.43
Tax on 5.57% gain at 40%: 2.23
PV of tax: 1.65
Tax-adjusted price: 94.06
Converges to 93.89

Tax Treatment of Tax-exempt Bonds
Held to Maturity – Simple Version
* Marginal tax rate implied by EMMA prices is ‘very high’
** 0.25 x the number of remaining years to maturity (e.g. 2.50 for a 10-year bond)
Purchase Price Treatment Tax Rate*
At a premium Premium amortized to zero N/A
At a de minimis**
discount
Taxed as capital gain 20%
At a non-de minimis
discount
Taxed as ordinary income 40%

OAS Framework Extended to Munis
Incorporate taxes on capital gains and losses
Investors assumed to be in the highest tax bracket
Based on empirical analysis
Key concepts: tax-neutral value and tax-neutral OAS
Tax-neutral value is the PV of after-tax cashflows, including tax
payable at maturity (determined iteratively)
Tax-neutral OAS ‘explains’ given market price
Tax-integrated valuation tools* are essential for managing
interest rate risk and to maximize after-tax performance
* MuniOAS™ and MuniSignal™ (patent pending)

Implementation Challenges
Callable bonds
Issuers refund without considering taxes
Original issue discounts (including callables)
Discount or premium status of purchase determined relative to
OID basis
Secondary market sales
Need to keep track of investor tax basis
Premium purchases amortized to maturity or call date
13. 13
Risk Analysis for Munis
1. Select suitable benchmark yield curve
2. Calculate tax-neutral OAS given this benchmark
3. Estimate price given shocked benchmark, keeping
OAS constant
Problem: Yields of standard muni benchmark curves are
YTC’s of 5% NC-10 bonds
Proper risk analysis requires an optionless par curve
Need to strip out NC-10 options
17. 17
Tax Management of Munis
Familiar transaction: selling losers
Known as tax-loss harvesting
Short-term loss @ 40% can be very valuable
Sale decision is a two-step process
1. Is it profitable?
2. Do it now or wait?
Need scenario-dependent tax-neutral prices to determine
optimum time to transact
18. 18
Institutional Considerations
Institutional market is dominated by 5% NC-10 bonds
Preferred by investors for a variety of reasons
Advance refunding, reporting, tax management
Currently 5% bonds trade above par
But how far will your portfolio drop if rates rise 100 basis
points? Standard analytics underestimate the damage
