What are fixed income investments?

Fixed Income Investments are:

“A type of investment under which the borrower or issuer is obliged to make payments of a fixed amount on a fixed schedule.”

Types of Fixed Income Investments- Annuities– Generally used for retirement, these are investments where you deposit some initial sum of

money and then you are guaranteed a check a every month after a time period. There are some penalties with withdrawing funds early

- Coupon Bonds– “bearer bonds” The coupon represents annual or semi-annual interest payments to be received until maturity. These coupons must be presented to the issuer to receive payments

- Municipal Bonds– These bonds are backed by the state or local government to fund projects such as highways, school, and hospitals. They have a large minimum investment and return a specified yield after a designated period of time.

- Certificates of Deposit or CD’s– FDIC insured investments that offer fixed rate of return Useful if you are looking for a time-specific savings plan or a low risk investment for your portfolio.

- Money market accounts– These are like savings accounts in you can withdraw from your account a certain number of times per month. They differ because of a higher interest rate and a higher minimum balance. They are also FDIC Insured.

- Treasury Bonds– Require a $1,000 minimum investment. They are fixed-interest U.S. government debt security with a maturity of more than 10 years. Interest payments are made semi-annually and the income that holders receive is only taxed at the federal level.

- Peer-to-peer lending– A high-yield alternative for investors who take the time needed to understand the risks and rewards.

Fixed income assets are balanced in risk & return

“I think astute investors will receive returns in the 8-10% range, with an average return of 6-7%. We know today that many investors are earning more than that, but I think as the industry matures returns will come down. That said, I expect 8-10% returns will be achievable for many investors through the end of this decade.”

Peter Renton
