Description

This week, we welcome back Jennifer Johnston, Senior Vice President and Director of Municipal Bond Research at Franklin Templeton. We wanted to get a sense for the causes and conditions behind municipal market volatility, including what affects issuer and investor behavior on both the retail and institutional sides of the market. We also talk about how today's volatility compares historically with times such as the Great Recession and Covid, the role of technology in servicing funds, and what makes the muni market unique in Jennifer's home state of California. In Ripped from the Headlines, we discuss how current tax reform is sitting with investors and issuers, and how public finance professionals decide when to go to market.
