Bond insurance information on confirmation
Q
How can you tell if your bonds are insured, and by whom? We have purchased two municipal bonds via FMSbonds and I don’t see any indication of insurance.

You can tell if your bonds are insured by the description on your confirmation.
For example, if you look on the confirmation of your 20M Burlington Kansas 4.500% bonds, you will notice they are insured by National Public Finance Guarantee Corp.
