Attractive Levels Garnering Attention

Issuance is up, the curve is steepening, and tax policy is finally clear—conditions that have muni investors taking a closer look. In this episode, host Chris Roberti is joined by Matt Hage, Portfolio Manager at MacKay Municipal Managers, for a timely look at market dynamics and positioning. Matt shares why issuance is running 20% above last year’s record pace, how shifts in the curve are opening long-term opportunities, and what the “One Big Beautiful Bill” means for tax policy and sector risk. They also discuss credit fundamentals, potential catalysts for a rally, and why active management may be better equipped than passive strategies in today’s environment.
