What Arbitrage Bonds Are And How To Earn From Them

By Ruth Wagner


In the bond market, there are plenty that one can choose from in order to earn more passive income in the long term. One of the more uncommon but still popular types would be known as arbitrage bonds. If one is interested in investing in this sort of medium, it is important to know about it first.

Now, just to give an idea of what they are, these securities are actually low interest securities offered after existing ones have become outstanding. From this short definition alone, most newbie investors may already shun this type of bond because it is a low interest type. However, there are some advantages that one can have by investing in it.

It may be a bit hard to understand at first, but it will be easier once it is broken down. Now, these types of securities are usually offered by municipalities who want to earn the difference between a lower interest rate and an existing bond with a higher rate that is already outstanding. This is why they offer these types of securities in the first place.

Of course, this does not really explain how the investors may be able to benefit hugely from the bond. Well, even in a very conservative bond market, there is a chance for bond interest rates to go down even before the bond reaches its maturity period. So in order to cover up that opportunity loss, municipalities would offer somewhat like a follow up bond in the form of an arbitrage bond which will allow the investors to have more leverage.

The main benefit of this type of security is that it gives the investor a little more leverage just in case the bond market is not doing too well. Since municipalities want investors to put in more money for community development projects, they would usually offer this as an extra dish to add to the attraction. The municipality gets more money and the investors gain an extra bond.

If one is looking for another benefit for getting this kind of bond, then he or she will be interested to know about the tax exempt feature of the bond. This bond would have absolutely no tax deductions on the profits if ever one receives income from interest. In a way, one can actually save money by not having to pay hefty tax.

Of course, there is a catch to this kind of benefit. This bond will only be tax exempt if the money of the bond will go to a community level project. If the government sees that it does not contribute to a specific project, it will not be tax exempt.

As an investor in the bond market, it is good to know of different kinds of securities that can be availed. This type of bond is a safe security that can also yield quite some profits and has a number of benefits to take advantage of. Of course, one has to first study each investment medium before investing so that he or she will know what he or she is getting into.
