Portfolio manager Tim Ryan of Nuveen -- who runs the Nuveen Dynamic Municipal Opportunities closed-end fund -- says that after a miserable first half of 2022 that lagged Treasury bonds, conditions have stabilized for muni bonds, which now have a more attractive yield curve and offer a better investment opportunity than Treasuries. Ryan says that the first-half selloff was more about technicals than about the quality of the underlying municipal bonds, which means that when the interest-rate picture stabilizes investors will worry less about credit quality in munis than in other areas in fixed income.
