Hello, I understand some of the basic differences between buying a bond, and investing in a fund that invests in bonds. I'm specifically looking for capital preservation, so I'm interested in buying a bond.
It seems to be pretty straightforward to invest in corporate, municipal, or US bond funds, or to buy US gov't bonds (treasury direct), but I haven't figured the process for buying a municipal bond.
I see that Schwab offers municipal bonds, but they are either "negotiated", or "competitive" offerings and it seems to require a phone call to actually make a new issue purchase.
How do folks here purchase new issue municipal bonds?
