Fixed Income Products

Fixed-income investments are more appealing to risk-averse investors. The basic principle of Fixed Income Security is repayment of principal at maturity. Investors are repaid the amount of money they originally invested at the end of the agreed period. Companies, governments, or other entities often need to take loans. Instruments that they issue against the loan are called fixed-income securities because they provide periodic income payments at a predetermined fixed interest rate.
