| MARKET | |
| The Bloomberg Barclays California Municipal Index returned 0.74% in the fourth quarter, even as U.S. Treasuries posted negative total returns. | |
| Municipals have seen strong demand in 2019, with inflows to mutual funds totaling over $90 billion without a single week of outflows, the largest amount of inflows in a year since records began in 1992. Persistently strong demand, coupled with limited supply, supported the market and contributed to positive performance. | |
| The shape of the municipal yield curve steepened in the fourth quarter as front-end rates fell and long-end rates increased. However, valuations continue to appear rich relative to historical norms. The 10-year Municipal-to-U.S. Treasury yield ratio - a harbinger of relative value - now stands at 76%, compared to a five-year average of 90%. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| We expect the constructive municipal market trends that have driven strong year-to-date performance to persist in 2020. Municipal credit fundamentals continue to improve and investor demand continues to outpace available market supply. | |
| While valuations remain rich relative to historical averages, we see no clear catalyst to reverse this trend. We continue to believe relative value remains most compelling in longer maturity bonds. | |
| With the Federal Reserve having cut the policy rate three times in 2019, we expect that future municipal returns will be influenced by subsequent monetary policy changes which will determine the direction of interest rates across fixed-income asset classes. | |
| While we do not anticipate any broad credit weakness in the municipal bond market that could upend the constructive outlook, we do anticipate marginal weakening in general obligation and education sectors, and favor high quality secured-revenue structures as our core security selection theme. | |
