5.1.7.4. Types of Bond Funds

Some bond funds are more beneficial from a tax perspective than others. Tax-advantaged funds are suitable for investors with high tax rates. Note that even when interest is tax-exempt at the federal or state level, all capital gains distributions are subject to taxation at all levels (federal, state, and local).

The following table offers a breakdown of how interest is taxed for different bond funds.

I have passed the Series 6, 63, and 26 on my first tries, all with the excellent training offered by Solomon. I'll never use another platform for my material.

Jodee Hempel, Woodmen Financial Services. Omaha, NE

I have used Solomon exam prep for the 6/63 and was able to pass on the first try. Now I’m taking the 65 and hope to do the same. I’ve used other recommended exam prep courses and came back to Solomon for the 65 because of ease of use. I would recommend Solomon to anyone that is in need of a securities exam. All the content is laid out in an easy to follow way.

THANK YOU SOLOMON! I passed the SIE in December and Series 6 in February. I do not have a background in finance. The study materials prepared me wonderfully for the exams. I used the study schedule - took a ton of practice exams and re-read the material. Also, the testimonials were very encouraging, so I had to share that I had the same amazing experience. Thank you so much!

Candace Chavez, Cetera Investment Services. Wimberley, TX

I utilized the Solomon SIE and Series 6 Top-Off study guide package. I passed on the first time by following the exact recommendations. While the test is different than the study exam questions it covers the content in a detailed way preparing you to successfully pass the exam. Great product and customer service!

Michael Gehrich, Allstate Insurance, Ft Myers, FL

After multiple failed attempts at the Series 6, I felt somewhat defeated. I reached out to Solomon for guidance and I was more than impressed with the response I received. The study material was outstanding and the program structure is truly designed to help you pass! Jeremy Solomon was truly my biggest fan and I can't thank him enough for his help! Solomon is by far the best company out there for test preparation; don't waste any more money on the others this is all you will need to pass!

Tory Hamlin, Agency Owner, Jacksonville, FL

Thank you so much for your great study materials! I have used you to pass my Series 6, 63 and most recently my Series 7 all on the first try. The practice exams and video lectures were great and extremely helpful. Will definitely be using your study material for any future exams and will recommend you to other people
