The MSRB operates the Electronic Municipal Market Access website (EMMA®), the official source of municipal bond data and disclosure documents, where investors can go to learn everything they need to know about a particular bond they may be considering or to monitor their bond investments. This page offers a curated selection of educational resources to help you monitor your bond investments.
Before buying a municipal bond, you may have reviewed the official statement to understand the bond’s features and risks and evaluate the issuer's financial health. Now that you own the bond, it’s important to regularly monitor the health of the bond and the issuer by reviewing the issuer's financial disclosures.
