S&P Capital IQ will focus on the state of the municipal bond industry in this month’s ETF Analyst Hour webinar on 23 January at 11:30am EST.
The webinar, titled “2014 Muni ETF Outlook: Don’t Just Believe the Headlines”, will feature JR Rieger, vice president, fixed income indices at S&P Dow Jones Indices, who will cover rising interest rate and liquidity risk and transaction costs in the muni bond market, and share his thinking on what to consider before making an investment decision.
Rieger will be joined by Todd Rosenbluth, director of ETF and mutual fund research with S&P Capital IQ. Rosenbluth will cover fund flows into municipal bond ETFs, state exposure of larger ETFs as well as how to reduce interest rate sensitivity.
The webinar is the latest in S&P Capital IQ’s monthly ETF Analyst Hour series and one hour of CFP continuing education credit is available to attendees.
Anthony Hohmann, ETF product manager, will moderate the discussion and highlight S&P Capital IQ’s ETF holdings-based ranking methodology and model performance to date.
Following the presentation, the ETF research reports for the ETFs discussed will be available to all attendees. The ETF reports are initially published on S&P Capital IQ’s MarketScope Advisor platform.
