MSRB TO HOST WEBINAR TOUR OF NEWLY REDESIGNED EMMA® WEBSITE

Alexandria, VA – The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) will host a free webinar to provide an online tour of its redesigned Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA®) website on Friday, February 28, 2014 at 12 p.m. EST.

The MSRB earlier this month enhanced the navigation and design of EMMA to make it easier for investors and other municipal market participants to find important information about municipal securities. Among the new features:

  • Easier Browsing. A pilot feature allows EMMA users to browse a searchable directory of all state, city, county and other municipal securities issuers in a particular state. Clicking on any issuer name will display a consolidated view of available information about that issuer’s securities, including trading activity, disclosure documents and contact information for investors.
  • Spotlight on Ways to Use EMMA. A rotating carousel on the redesigned EMMA homepage integrates multimedia resources about using EMMA and understanding the municipal market.
  • Daily Market Recap. A snapshot of the most actively traded fixed-rate municipal securities emphasizes the dynamic nature of the municipal market.

The webinar will focus on new features of the EMMA website and provide tips for getting the most out of the site’s existing features EMMA. The webinar will conclude with a question and answer session. Register now.

The MSRB’s EMMA website has served as the official source of data and documents on the $3.7 trillion municipal securities market since 2008.

The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) protects and strengthens the municipal bond market, enabling access to capital, economic growth, and societal progress in tens of thousands of communities across the country. The MSRB fulfills this mission by creating trust in our market through informed regulation of dealers and municipal advisors that protects investors, issuers and the public interest; building technology systems that power our market and provide transparency for issuers, institutions, and the investing public; and serving as the steward of market data that empowers better decisions and fuels innovation for the future. The MSRB is a self-regulatory organization governed by a board of directors that has a majority of public members, in addition to representatives of regulated entities. The MSRB is overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Congress.
