| MARKET | |
| The Bloomberg Barclays California Municipal Index returned 1.45% in the last quarter of 2018, as municipal rates followed U.S. Treasury rates lower on the back of trade tensions and concerns over lower global growth. | |
| After a spike in interest rates in September, municipal mutual funds posted 12 consecutive weeks of outflows in the fourth quarter of 2018. Despite this, the asset class held in relatively well, with the ratio of municipal yields to U.S. Treasuries (a harbinger of relative value) remaining stable throughout the quarter. | |
| As a result of tax reform, demand for municipals from high-income individuals (especially in high tax states) was strong in 2018, while gross issuance was down sharply, finishing the year 26% lower than 2017. This dynamic provided support to the market throughout the year and was a contributing factor to the municipal market's strong performance compared to other fixed-income asset classes in 2018. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| Outflows from municipal mutual funds appear to have reversed course and we don't see a catalyst for an increase in supply, especially in the first quarter, historically the lightest period of market issuance. We expect these technical factors to provide stable footing for the municipal market in the new year. | |
| The municipal yield curve from 2 years to 30 years remains steep with a yield pick-up of 1.24%, even as the U.S. Treasury curve has flattened significantly and now stands at 0.50%. Given that this provides a 0.74% advantage compared to the same part of the U.S. Treasury curve, we believe there remains significant value in the long-end of the municipal curve to investors of all tax rates. | |
| With the strong technical backdrop, attractive valuations, the risk of further tax cuts diminished as a result of the midterm election results, and municipals likely benefiting from any continued volatility in equity markets, we are optimistic on the outlook for municipals as we enter 2019. | |
