Active Municipal Bonds
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
ICM offers to taxable clients an active, total return Municipal Bond strategy. Our active approach to municipal bond management strives to provide competitive tax-free coupon income while taking advantage of market inefficiencies and trading opportunities to produce cumulative after-tax total returns greater than those of a traditional laddered or buy-and-hold strategy over time.
