Knowing All About Arbitrage Bonds

By Ruth Wagner


In the bond market, there are plenty that one can choose from in order to earn more passive income in the long term. One of the more uncommon but still popular types would be known as arbitrage bonds. If one is interested in investing in this sort of medium, it is important to know about it first.

If one would look at the financial dictionaries, the definition of this kind of bond would be a lower interest rate security compared to regular securities. This definition alone may actually throw off investors because it does not seem like a particularly attractive investment medium. However, this will really depend on how one wants to look at the bond.

It may be a bit hard to understand at first, but it will be easier once it is broken down. Now, these types of securities are usually offered by municipalities who want to earn the difference between a lower interest rate and an existing bond with a higher rate that is already outstanding. This is why they offer these types of securities in the first place.

Of course, this does not really explain how the investors may be able to benefit hugely from the bond. Well, even in a very conservative bond market, there is a chance for bond interest rates to go down even before the bond reaches its maturity period. So in order to cover up that opportunity loss, municipalities would offer somewhat like a follow up bond in the form of an arbitrage bond which will allow the investors to have more leverage.

One can actually say that this is somewhat of an added benefit or leverage in the event that the bond market does not do as well as expected to be. This is especially attractive in these situations and also beneficial for municipalities who are looking for more funds to build more and better community projects that can benefit the municipality. With that, the investors can have a bigger safety net and the municipality can have a chance to get more funds into their treasury.

Another great thing about this bond is that it is tax exempt. This means that if one buys it, then there are no tax deductions in the earnings made by investors. In the long run, one can make a lot of money because of no taxes.

Of course, there is a catch to this kind of benefit. This bond will only be tax exempt if the money of the bond will go to a community level project. If the government sees that it does not contribute to a specific project, it will not be tax exempt.

Before going on to invest in this type of bond, it is extremely important for one to first know what it has to offer. It can be attractive in its own rite if one knows the context of it. As long as one knows about it, then he or she will be able to enjoy its benefits.
