The Internal Revenue Service has announced new tax brackets for 2025. This makes now an ideal time to revisit the benefits of muni bond ETFs.

Why Muni Bond ETFs Make Sense in 2025

SPDR Nuveen Bloomberg Short Term Municipal Bond ETF has a short duration, highly rated bonds, low expense ratio, but low total return and yield. The ETF invests in short-term U.S. dollar denominated, fixed rate bonds, excluding bonds subject to Alternative Minimum Tax, with a tax-free yield of 1.5%. After my review, its low Total Return over the past decade, coupled with a miserly yield, earns SHM a Strong Sell rating, one of the few I have awarded.
