Actively managed municipal bond funds continue to attract strong investor interest, with active mutual funds taking in over $24 billion and active muni ETFs seeing over $22 billion in net flows last year. In this episode of Inside Active, host David Cohne, mutual fund and active management analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, speaks with Alex Petrone, head of fixed income and of distribution for the Americas at Rockefeller Capital Management, about the advantages of active management in the municipal bond market. They discuss why the steep municipal yield curve presents compelling investment opportunities, how active managers can exploit inefficiencies in a highly fragment market and why municipal bonds have historically shown resilience during economic downturns. The conversation also explores how technology is reshaping municipal credit research and portfolio construction. The podcast was recorded on Jan. 27.
