5.1.7.4. Types of Bond Funds

Some bond funds are more beneficial from a tax perspective than others. Tax-advantaged funds are suitable for investors with high tax rates. Note that even when interest is tax-exempt at the federal or state level, all capital gains distributions are subject to taxation at all levels (federal, state, and local).

The following table offers a breakdown of how interest is taxed for different bond funds.

THANK YOU SOLOMON! I passed the SIE in December and Series 6 in February. I do not have a background in finance. The study materials prepared me wonderfully for the exams. I used the study schedule - took a ton of practice exams and re-read the material. Also, the testimonials were very encouraging, so I had to share that I had the same amazing experience. Thank you so much!

Candace Chavez, Cetera Investment Services. Wimberley, TX

Thanks so much for your great product. I recently used for the Series 6 and took a month to study and passed. I previously used another provider and didn't pass.

My sincere thanks and appreciation to the team at Solomon. I've used your materials to pass the SIE and Series 6, both on the first try, and today with your help, I have passed the Series 26 exam on the first try as well! Thank you for the excellent materials and assistance!

Kristina Ribali, MWA Financial Services. Ave Maria, FL

After failing the SIE with a different study company, I passed after using Solomon! I then passed the S6, S63 and S65 on the first try after studying with Solomon materials! I loved how easy the material was to comprehend and the practice tests were amazing! I felt well prepared for each test! Thank you Solomon!

Sara Hays, State Farm. Atascadero, CA

Thank you so much for your great study materials! I have used you to pass my Series 6, 63 and most recently my Series 7 all on the first try. The practice exams and video lectures were great and extremely helpful. Will definitely be using your study material for any future exams and will recommend you to other people

Louis Orsatti, NY LIFE Securities, Boston, MA

I utilized the Solomon SIE and Series 6 Top-Off study guide package. I passed on the first time by following the exact recommendations. While the test is different than the study exam questions it covers the content in a detailed way preparing you to successfully pass the exam. Great product and customer service!
