Overview
The Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of federally tax-exempt municipal obligations. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds and may invest in all types including pre-refunded bonds, general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, municipal lease participations and zero coupon bonds. Baird uses a value-oriented strategy and looks for undervalued municipal securities that offer above-average return characteristics. Market factors evaluated when selecting investments include:
- the nominal level and trend in interest rates
- the slope of the municipal yield curve
- income tax rates
- market sector valuations
- credit trends
- supply and demand flows
- regional economic strength
- legal and regulatory trends
The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade municipal obligations but may invest up to 15% of its assets in non-investment-grade obligations.
Two Baird Bond Funds Receive Lipper Awards
In 2025, two municipal bond funds awarded for 3- and 5-year returns.
