Muni Lowdown: Pandemic problems

Debtwire Municipals' Kathie O’Donnell discusses an issue involving municipal mutual funds inflows which have become concentrated among a handful of big firms. When they need to sell, the buyer universe is limited to other big fund players who are also facing redemptions. Debtwire's Maria Amante talks about a private student housing development on the University of Oklahoma's campus which is determining how to address refunds to tenants as the school sends students off campus to protect against the spread of coronavirus. Yong Lim, the Debtwire Municipals desk editor, is the moderator of the podcast. The Muni Lowdown is a weekly podcast recapping the previous week's significant news developments in the municipal bond market. For comments or questions contact [email protected]
