Municipal
Market Update
A timely look at trends and
developments for muni bond
investors
January 15, 2015
Strong reinvestment demands helps drive muni yields near all-time lows
Seasonal reinvestment demand remains strong which will help offset this week’s supply increase. As
reported on January 7, U.S. municipal bond funds posted net inflows of $1.3 billion, the 25th inflow in 26
weeks and the largest inflow in more than 12 months.
Yield curve
The spread between the Municipal Market Data
(MMD) 10-year triple-A benchmark yield and the
MMD 30-year triple-A benchmark yield has fallen to
just 76 basis points, as of January 14, representing
the smallest spread since late-October 2008 (See
Figure 1). Since New Year’s Day, the Municipal
Market Data (MMD) 10-year triple-A benchmark has
fallen 22 bps to 1.78 percent, a 12-month low and
down 84 basis points year-over-year. The 10-year
yield remains 31 basis points higher than its all-time
low of 1.47 percent, which was set on November 28,
2012.

Past performance is not an indication of future results.
During the same time, the (MMD) 30-year triple-A
benchmark has fallen 29 basis points to 2.54 percent,
a two-year low and down 143 basis points year-over
year. The 30-year yield is only seven basis points
higher than its all-time low of 2.47 percent, which
was also set on November 28, 2012 (See Figure 2).
Supply
Tax-exempt new issue supply is expected to total
$6.6 billion this week, up from $4.94 billion last week
and more than the 2014 weekly average of $5.7
billion. Supply is expected to remain above average
during January. The Bloomberg 30-day visible
municipal supply was $8.5 billion on January 5,
which is above the 12-month average of $7.7 billion.
Despite declining almost 14 percent during the first
half of 2014, supply increased more than 16 percent
during the second half of 2014. However, 44 weeks of
inflows into municipal bond funds during 2014
enabled the market to accommodate the supply
increase during the 2H2014.
Demand
Reinvestment demand remains strong which will
help offset this week’s supply increase. U.S.
municipal bond funds posted the 26th inflow in 27
weeks. As reported on January 14, net inflows were
$688.5 million, compared with inflows of $1.3 billion
the prior week, a 12-month high. Historically,
January redemption needs, due to investors needing
to reinvest principal and coupon payments, have
totaled around $30 billion.

Municipal Market Update
Inflows into municipal bond funds, a proxy for
demand, rebounded in 2014. According to Lipper
FMI—after ending 2013 with 31 consecutive weeks of
outflows—municipal bond funds experienced net
inflows 44 out of 52 weeks during 2014, totaling
more than $13.1 billion. U.S. municipal bond funds
posted 24 consecutive weeks of inflows from July 16
until seeing a modest outflow during the final week
of 2014.
New issue spotlight
Among the high quality deals scheduled to price
this week is a $474 million King County, WA sewer
system revenue bond sale. King County’s sewer
system provides treatment services to 33 municipal
and 3 non-municipal agencies in King and
Snohomish counties, as well as the Muckleshoot
Tribe. The system service area covers 415 square
miles in the Seattle metropolitan area with a
population of approximately 1.5 million residents.
The city of Seattle represents the largest user of the
system at 40.1% and the city of Bellevue represents
the second largest user at 8.7%.
The system’s bonds are secured by a senior lien on
net revenues of the county's sewer system. King
County sewer revenue bonds are rated “Aa2” with a
stable outlook by Moody’s Investors Service
(Moody’s) and “AA+” with a stable outlook by
Standard & Poor’s (S&P). The system's high credit
ratings are based on its role as the major wastewater
treatment provider in a broad and economically
diverse region with high median household income
levels. Partially offsetting its credit strengths is the
system’s large capital improvement plan totaling
$1.1 billion during fiscal years 2014 through 2019 and
an additional $2 billion through 2030.
Based on recent trades, King County sewer system
revenue bonds are relatively undervalued in the
secondary market. On January 6, King County sewer
system revenue bond (CUSIP 495289ZE3), due
January 2025 and callable January 2021 at par,
traded at a dollar price of $117.377 to yield 2.974
percent (yield-to-maturity), which was 87 basis
points higher (cheaper) than the Bloomberg
Washington municipal benchmark. This spread is
January 15, 2015
more than two standard deviations wider than the
12-month average, suggesting that the bonds are
undervalued relative to the Bloomberg Washington
municipal benchmark. If there is a mean reversion
these bonds would be likely to outperform (See
Figure 3).
Credit spread tightening
Municipal bond outperformance and historically low
yields lead many investors to move down the credit
scale in search of yield during 2014, causing the
difference between yields on lower quality bonds
and high quality bonds to narrow (i.e. credit spread
tightening). Credit spread refers to the difference in
yield between two issues that are identical in all
respects other than their credit quality. Wells Fargo
Advisors (WFA) Municipal Research continues to
point out that a preference for lower rated bonds is
not without risk in a still challenging credit
environment, since lower rated credits might
experience weak performance should spreads widen
back to their recent averages.
The current spread relationship suggests that tripleB bonds are currently fully valued relative to high
quality municipal bonds, which suggests that
investors may not be compensated for the added
credit risk that triple-B bonds can represent. Since
peaking at an all-time high of 354 basis points on
March 31, 2009 the credit spread between 10-year
triple-B rated municipal bonds and triple-A
municipal bonds has tightened to 97 basis points as
of January 14, a six-year low (See Figure 4).
Triple-B rated bonds, as tracked by the S&P
Municipal Bond BBB Rating Band Index, returned
12.5 percent in 2014, outperforming the broader
municipal market, which returned 8.8 percent, as
tracked by the S&P National AMT-Free Municipal
Bond Index. Value conscious investors may want to
consider locking in gains and reinvesting in higher
quality bonds, with the understanding that it may
not be possible to find the same kind of yield after a
rebalance. Investors who live in states that do not
tax out-of-state municipal bonds may also want to
consider out-of-state bonds for additional yield
opportunities.

Municipal Market Update
Municipal Credit Monitor
The WFA Municipal Credit Monitor table (MCM)
shows the weekly change in the spread relationship
between the yield to maturity of representative
holdings of WFA clients’ municipal bonds and the
Bloomberg “AAA” municipal benchmark. The
Municipal Credit Monitor table can be used to help
identify undervalued and overvalued states, sectors
and credits by highlighting the change in yield
spreads and the magnitude of the yield spread in
terms of the standard deviation from their averages.
Bond prices and yields have an inverse relationship.
Widening yield spreads are highlighted in red to
indicate cheapening in bond prices relative to the
January 15, 2015
“AAA” municipal benchmark. Tightening yield
spreads are highlighted in green to indicate bond
prices that are getting richer relative to the “AAA”
municipal benchmark. Standard deviations
highlighted in red are greater than or equal to two
standard deviations above the average, indicating
cheapness relative to the “AAA” municipal
benchmark. Standard deviations highlighted in
green are greater than or equal to two standard
deviations below the average, indicating richness
relative to the “AAA” municipal benchmark. While
standard deviations highlighted in yellow are
between one and two standard deviations away from
the average, and should be monitored for relative
value.

ANALYST CERTIFICATION: The Analyst who prepared this report hereby certifies that the views expressed
in this report accurately reflect his/her personal views about the subject companies and their securities. The

Disclaimers
Prices and figures are as of the date of publication unless specified otherwise.
Investing in fixed income securities involves certain risks such as market risk if sold prior to maturity and
credit risk, especially if investing in high yield bonds, which have lower ratings and are subject to greater
volatility. All fixed income investments may be worth less than the original cost upon redemption or
maturity. Bond prices fluctuate inversely to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a general rise in interest
rates can result in the decline of the value of your investment.
Income from municipal securities is generally free from federal taxes and state taxes for residents of the
issuing state. While the interest income is tax-free, capital gains, if any, will be subject to taxes. Income for
some investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).
Although Treasuries are considered free from credit risk they are subject to other types of risks. These risks
include interest rate risk, which may cause the underlying value of the bond to fluctuate.
Taxable equivalent Yield (TEY) is the pretax yield that a taxable bond needs to possess for the yield to be
equal to that of a tax-free municipal bond.
Relative Value is a method of determining an asset's value that takes into account the value of similar assets.
Calculations that are used to measure the relative value of stocks include the enterprise ratio and price-toearnings ratio.
Standard deviation of return measures the average deviations of a return series from its mean, and is often
used as a measure of risk. A large standard deviation implies that there have been large swings in the return
series of the manager.
