As of Jul 21, 2026
The BBH Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund returned 1.76% in Q2 2026, outperforming its benchmark by 9 basis points and bringing year-to-date performance ahead by 55 bps. The municipal market rebounded strongly during the quarter following a U.S.-Iran ceasefire, with mutual fund and ETF assets benefiting from a record 129-week inflow cycle. Long-maturity bonds led the rally as yields declined 35 bps, while intermediate maturities fell 20 bps. The fund's outperformance stemmed from its yield advantage driven by investments in niche sectors like housing and securities with non-standard structures, plus exposure to longer-maturity bonds. The manager added prepaid energy bonds backed by Alphabet and Citigroup at attractive spreads, airport bonds, and housing securities. Despite strong market performance, the manager views municipal credit as past its high-water mark, citing headwinds from the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act affecting healthcare and higher education, reduced federal support for SNAP and FEMA, and elevated inflation from Middle East conflict. The team maintains a cautious stance while continuing to find opportunities in less-crowded segments of the municipal market.
The BBH Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund focuses on niche sectors and non-standard municipal bond structures to generate above-average income while maintaining above-average credit quality, avoiding the concentrated demand and compressed spreads of traditional municipal investors.
The manager views credit as past its high-water mark and advises caution despite market valuations implying few risks ahead. However, the opportunity set remains broad, with market dynamics allowing purchase of high-quality bonds at attractive yields. The team remains excited about the opportunity set in niche sectors and non-standard structures that provide above-average income while avoiding congestion from traditional municipal investors.
