FIGB vs MUB Bonds Tax Strategy | Business and Finance News
Description
Two bond ETFs, Fidelity’s FIGB and iShares’ MUB, offer different trade-offs: FIGB boasts a higher 4.1% yield but charges a steep 0.36% fee and invests in taxable bonds; MUB delivers lower 3.2% yield with a tiny 0.05% fee, focusing on tax-free municipal bonds. For retirees or those in low tax brackets, FIGB’s active management and higher return may shine—especially inside tax-advantaged accounts. But if you’re in a high tax bracket and holding outside retirement accounts, MUB’s tax exemption can outperform despite its lower yield, plus it’s been around since 2007 and manages far more assets. Your tax situation and account type decide which is smarter for you.
