Fixed Income

Summary

A type of investment that provides a return in the form of regular, fixed payments and the eventual return of principal at maturity.

Detailed Description

Fixed income securities are debt instruments that provide investors with set returns on their investment based on predetermined interest rates. This category includes government and corporate bonds, treasury bills, and other types of debt. Unlike equities, which may offer variable returns based on company performance, fixed income investments offer predictable income streams, making them appealing for conservative investors looking to minimize risk.
