The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board has launched an online toolkit to help investors navigate the municipal market.
According to the MSRB, individual investors own about two-thirds of the $3.7 trillion in outstanding municipal securities, either directly or through mutual funds. The organization's mission is to protect these investors by giving them the information they need to understand the features of municipal bonds and make appropriate decisions.
The investor toolkit includes an investor guide with sections outlining questions to ask when investing in municipal bonds, how to evaluate a municipal bond's risk and what to expect from financial professionals.

"The MSRB is committed to providing investors with free, objective and independent information about how the municipal market works," said MSRB Chair Alan Polsky. "Our goal with this new toolkit is to help existing and prospective municipal bond investors gain confidence in their ability to evaluate, purchase and monitor municipal bond investments."
The kit also includes an introductory video and fact sheets about the disclosures and services available through the MSRB's Electronic Municipal Market Access website.
The MSRB protects investors, issuers of municipal securities and entities whose credit stands behind municipal securities and public pension plans by promoting a fair and efficient municipal market.
