eBooleant Consulting Announces New Book Investing in Municipal Bonds

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--eBooleant Consulting, LLC is pleased to announce the publication of Investing in Municipal Bonds: How to Balance Risk and Reward for Success in Today’s Bond Market by Dr. Philip Fischer, Managing Partner, eBooleant Consulting, LLC (McGraw-Hill Professional, ISBN: 978-0071809757, Jan. 2013).

“Municipal bonds play an integral role in the creation and maintenance of public infrastructure ranging from airports to city halls around the nation”

Municipal bonds are one of the few tax-advantaged securities available in a rising tax environment, yet their seemingly obscure nature can make it difficult for individuals and corporations to understand how to value them, let alone for professionals to provide accurate investment advice. Aimed at high net worth investors, financial advisors, and trust departments, Investing in Municipal Bonds is an invaluable guide to the structure and relative value of the municipal bond market. It is also an excellent tool for university and professional classes.

“Municipal bonds play an integral role in the creation and maintenance of public infrastructure ranging from airports to city halls around the nation,” said Mary Glenn, Associate Publisher, Business, McGraw-Hill Professional. “They also offer investors a chance to develop their communities as they build their savings. This book is a guide to doing that wisely.”

Dr. Fischer’s new book Investing in Municipal Bonds is available wherever books and e-books are sold, including Amazon.com, BN.com, and Booksamillion.com. For those organizations that order in bulk, Dr. Fischer can be available for consultation and presentation.

Dr. Fischer also produces a periodic white paper series called Economic Perspectives. People interested in receiving the white paper can sign up for it at www.ebooleant.com.
