Invesco Taxable Municipal Bond ETF

BAB tracks a broad index of taxable investment-grade municipal debts selected and weighted by market value.

Invesco Taxable Municipal Bond ETF is a passive ETF that tracks the performance of US dollar-denominated taxable municipal debt. The outlook for BAB is modest, with a potential for 2-3% returns, which is weak compared to inflation and cash offerings. Low levels of issuance in the taxable municipal bond sector could be a bullish catalyst for the Fund.

Invesco Taxable Municipal Bond ETF offers exposure to the municipal bond market, providing diversification and potential higher yields. The BAB ETF invests primarily in high-grade bonds, with a concentration in the Local Authorities sector, which can be both a strength and a risk. BAB has underperformed compared to other muni bond funds, potentially due to its duration and sampling strategy, making it a less exciting investment option.
