Municipal bonds remain a bedrock of conservative investment strategies, offering tax advantages and a historical default rate of just 0.1% for investment-grade issuers since 1970—far lower than corporate bonds' 2.2%. Their resilience stems from municipalities' power to levy taxes, creating a robust repayment backbone.
