Buyers should focus on pre-refunded municipal bonds, a tax-exempt security payable from U.S. Treasuries in escrow that are left in the market after refinancing deals, and callable debt.

Lower-rated states, such as California and Illinois, are not yielding enough to merit the risk of investment, LaRosa said."
