Fixed Income Securities

We have access to Government, Corporate and Municipal Bonds, as well as Certificates of Deposit. These are called Fixed Income Securities because they typically pay a set amount of interest on a set schedule. The advantage of fixed income products in your portfolio is that they pay regular, predictable income. The disadvantage: they usually don’t increase in value as much as other investments, which may leave you more at risk for inflation.

Note: Fixed income investments are still subject to various risks, including changes in interest rates, credit quality, marked valuation, liquidity, prepayments, corporate events, tax ramifications and other factors. Market value of Fixed Income Investments may fluctuate prior to maturity.
