Are you subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)? If not, there are exceptional opportunities available right now.

The number of taxpayers subject to the AMT is rising dramatically. More than 3 million people were subject to the AMT last year, and by next April, that number is expected to soar to about 23 million.

As a result, more investors are being forced to sell their municipal bonds that are subject to this prohibitive tax. These forced liquidations, combined with the shrinking demand for these securities, have created a unique buying opportunity for investors who are not paying taxes by the AMT method.

To buy AMT bonds and take advantage of higher yields, or to learn more, browse our offerings or speak to a bond specialist by calling 1-800-FMS-BOND (367-2663).
