Hennion and Walsh on CNBC: Tax Free Municipal Bonds

Hennion and Walsh President, Bill Walsh, tells CNBC viewers that while tax free municipal bonds may not be a sexy investment, they can be an appropriate investment, along with the reasons why.

Parsippany, NJ – Hennion and Walsh Asset Management President Bill Walsh spoke with CNBC host Mark Haines and his viewers about the benefits tax free municipal bonds can offer the individual investor looking for a steady income stream. Walsh joined Haines as part of CNBC’s Financial Advisor Network with information on what to look for when thinking about tax free municipal bonds, especially when there is so much bad economic news about city and state government tax revenues being off.

“I think you have to take a look at what the underlying security is before buying tax free municipal bonds. Grouping all tax free municipal bonds into one class is not advisable. You have to look at what you’re buying and what’s paying it. Normally, there are two or three types of bonds that are more secure than possibly others and looking at the underlying security helps to determine their safety,” says Bill Walsh, President and co-founder of Hennion and Walsh, a passionate advocate for individual investors.

Walsh goes on to explain the three types of tax free municipal bonds that can offer the most safety. The full segment can be viewed on the Hennion and Walsh blog, Portfolio Strategies News, at http://www.portfoliostrategynews.com/?p=424 .

Hennion & Walsh was founded in 1990 with a single goal in mind: to become the nation’s premier provider of investment services to and advocate for individual investors. As such, our disciplined, personalized approach has helped thousands of individuals grow and protect their investments. Hennion & Walsh’s heritage is being one of the nation’s leading independent specialists in municipal bonds for individual investors, but we offer a full suite of equity and fixed-income products and services including wealth management.

Philosophy

At Hennion & Walsh , we believe it is both our responsibility and our privilege to help our clients prepare for a secure financial future. We are constantly building and strengthening long-term client relationships through our integrity, trustworthiness, and personal service. Our goal is to be the nation’s premier investment advisor to and advocate for individual investors, providing every investor the institutional-quality care to which we believe they’re entitled.

Founder’s Note

We tend to consider wealth not as an end in itself, but as a means to an end: freedom; the reward for years of hard work; the power to embrace life’s full potential. All too often, however, wealth becomes not a thing to be enjoyed but a burden to be worried over. People fear losing what they have worked so hard to build, but they lack the specialized knowledge, resources, and most importantly, the time to properly manage it.

It’s no wonder that many people turn to professionals to help guide, manage, defend, and grow their investments. The question is to whom they should give this responsibility.

At Hennion & Walsh, we believe that the management of wealth should be taken as personally as its accumulation. We recognize the commitment our clients have made to building and maintaining their investments. And knowing this, how could we not manage and protect those investments as carefully – and as personally – as we can?

When this company was founded, we recognized that individual investors didn’t always experience the same benefits, the same access to resources, and the same level of service that institutional investors enjoyed at other firms. We set out to change that. And over the many years since its inception, Hennion & Walsh has always been its clients’ fiercest champion and most passionate advocate. We promise that you will experience nothing less.

This section outlines our unique approach to investing, the strategies and philosophy behind it, and the reasons we believe your investment will have a prosperous home with Hennion & Walsh.
