Hold Puerto Rico bond?

Q

I own Puerto Rico bonds and they are down. Should I continue to hold them for the long run or trade them for, say, Connecticut bonds? What are their chances of default?

L.S., Connecticut

James A. Klotz responds:

Because there are a multitude of issuing entities in Puerto Rico with varying degrees of credit quality, we cannot offer an opinion without being aware of your specific holdings.

In general, we are not anticipating an imminent default on any Puerto Rico municipals.
