Fixed Income
Understanding Fixed Income Instruments
Fixed Income refers to investments that pay a predictable, predetermined return — government bonds, corporate debentures, fixed deposits, and debt mutual funds. They are the backbone of any balanced portfolio, especially for those closer to retirement or with lower risk tolerance.
Understanding the difference between yield and return, what credit ratings mean, and how interest rate changes affect bond prices is essential to investing in fixed income intelligently — rather than just chasing the highest advertised rate.
