Investing in fixed income securities for the purpose of generating tax-exempt income, is generally more beneficial the higher an individual investor's tax bracket. Accounts classified as tax-advantaged, such as, but not limited to IRAs and 401(k)’s, are generally not appropriate for holding tax-exempt securities.
Market prices of zero coupon bonds tend to be more volatile than bonds which pay interest on a regular basis. The full value of zero coupon bonds, including the accrued interest, is not paid until the maturity date of the zero coupon bond. Interest on taxable zero-coupon bonds is imputed annually as accreted interest and is subject to income taxes even though no payment is actually received by the investor in that year. This is commonly referred to as "phantom interest."
Any fixed income security, including, but not limited to municipal bonds, zero coupon bonds, CDs, and corporate bonds, which are sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a gain or loss.
Making an investment in any security involves risk. As such, the potential exists of losing money when you make an investment in securities. In general, the bond market is volatile. As such, bond prices may rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is typically pronounced for longer-term securities.
