⚡ Quantum Brief
The Invesco Municipal Income Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond 5+ Year Investment Grade Index, during Q4 2025, with Class A shares lagging at net asset value. Municipal bond issuance hit a record $584 billion in 2025, up from $509 billion in 2024, with Q4 alone seeing $143 billion in new supply, reflecting strong market demand. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates twice in late 2025—0.25% in October and December—easing monetary policy amid shifting economic conditions. High absolute yields and robust fundamentals bolster municipals’ appeal, according to analysts, who cite attractive income potential despite recent underperformance. A steepened municipal yield curve in 2025 prompts a constructive outlook on duration, with managers eyeing opportunities to extend portfolios for higher returns.
