Frequently asked questions

The income produced by municipal bonds is typically exempt from income taxes at the federal level. Municipal bonds may also be exempt from state and local taxes based on where the investor resides.

Our high conviction approach to investing aims to deliver a highly competitive yield by exploiting anomalies that exist in the high yield municipal market.  The Invesco Municipal Bond team employs a bottom-up, research-oriented approach to generate income-driven total return. Our experienced credit research staff works to uncover value in non-rated bonds, which may offer the potential for higher yield and total return.  

Municipalities have two main reasons for issuing bonds without a credit rating. First, some issues are of higher quality but the rating is foregone because the size or placement of the issue makes it uneconomical to pay for the rating. Second, many non-rated bonds would not meet the rating criteria of the rating agencies, or, if rated, would fall below investment grade (below triple-B).  

A total return bond fund is typically a diversified fixed income portfolio designed to invest in many bond sectors that may provide income and capital appreciation. Investments may include Treasury bonds, agency bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, commercial MBS, ABS and residential MBS.  In addition, the strategy may invest in high yield corporate debt, emerging market debt, and other types of bonds.

GTO is an actively managed intermediate-term bond exchange-traded fund for investors seeking monthly income and total return opportunities.

With a passive investment strategy, managers generally seek to precisely mirror their benchmark index’s holdings and are therefore able to charge lower fees. Typically, however, they don’t have the freedom to move into cash, or the ability to quickly raise funds in the midst of a market downturn to take advantage of opportunistic, tactical strategies.  Managers with an active investment strategy can overweight or underweight areas of the portfolio to add value.

Investors turn to Invesco for high-conviction bond strategies across the fixed income spectrum. Our team is empowered by a collaborative culture and extensive research capabilities across geographies, asset classes, and sectors. We bring the resources of a global asset manager while remaining nimble enough to add value through security selection. Through a rigorous, repeatable process that constantly identifies new themes and opportunities, we build best-idea portfolios that seek to deliver strong risk-adjusted performance over time.
