Discover the potential advantages of fixed-income investing
Fixed-income investments may be right for you if you want to experience these benefits as part of a diversified portfolio.
- Preserve wealth - while fixed-income prices may fluctuate, you can rely on receiving the full-face amount when your investment matures, subject to credit risk
- Diversify your portfolio - diversifying your investments across asset classes may result in less risk exposure for your overall portfolio
- Generate income - fixed-income investments may provide a steady stream of monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual income to help supplement your income or help fund your retirement
- Manage interest rate risk - creating a ladder through staggered maturities can potentially help you manage interest rate risk in both rising and falling environments and experience less exposure to interest rate volatility
