Overview: Currently, California's General Obligation Unlimited Tax (GO/UTX) bonds carry an A+ bond rating from Standard & Poor's, A1 from Moody's and A+ from Fitch. All have been under review for potential downgrades but are still strong investment-grade ratings. Historically, defaults on municipal bonds - particularly those issued by state and local governments and secured by tax revenues - have been extremely rare. For the buy-and-hold investor, state and local government muni bonds are generally considered to be one of the safest fixed-income investments after Treasury bonds.
