About AAMBQX

Advisors Disciplined Trust 547 Build America Bonds Portfolio is a unit investment trust designed to provide income and preserve capital through a fixed portfolio of investment‑grade taxable municipal bonds issued under the Build America Bond program created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. These bonds finance public infrastructure such as transportation, schools, utilities, and hospitals, and carry a federal subsidy paid to issuers that historically enabled higher coupon rates versus traditional tax‑exempt municipals, while interest to investors remains taxable. The trust structure is static—holdings are selected at inception and then held to maturity or until called—offering defined cash flows, monthly distributions, and a finite life aligned with the underlying bonds. Within the municipal market, the portfolio targets the investment‑grade taxable segment, which has historically exhibited lower default rates than comparably rated corporate bonds, according to Moody’s data cited in program materials. By concentrating in Build America Bonds, the trust channels capital to long‑dated infrastructure needs while delivering a transparent, rules‑based vehicle for accessing taxable municipal income.
