A consortium led by major investment banks active in the huge over-the-counter derivatives market in credit default swaps (CDS) plans to launch a central clearinghouse by September in an effort to reduce counterparty risk in the financial system.

Moody's Investors Service said in a report released in late May that counterparty risks in the CDS market pose greater potential threats to banks and dealers than other OTC derivatives, such as interest rate swaps.

Both TIPS and Series I Bonds are adjusted for inflation, offering a real rate and an inflation adjustment. The inflation adjustment is the same on both securities, but the real portion of the interest rate on TIPS is generally much higher. Despite I Bonds' less attractive real rate, they have several features that add to their value. They may be redeemed before maturity, at par value plus accrued interest, eliminating price risk. In addition, taxes may be deferred until redemption. We estimate the value of these two features, and find that they are substantial and could potentially offset the lower real rate of I Bonds.

Nevertheless, when investing in tax-exempt securities, investors are quickly confronted with a host of often conflicting goals. Major tax and investing issues need to be evaluated simultaneously when selecting an appropriate tax-exempt asset class. State-specific municipal bond funds can come with added risks.
