Fixed interest

Designed for investors looking to gain exposure to a fixed income

In detail
Things to consider

In detail

Fixed interest securities provide two essential components of a portfolio - a dependable level of income and asset class diversity.

Diversification is key to a long-term investment portfolio and fixed interest securities may help to stabilise returns during periods of market volatility.

Some key features and benefits of fixed interest securities are:

potential for a regular income stream
usually higher yields than cash
access to a range of maturity terms
competitive pricing.

Things to consider

Fixed interest securities:

may suit investors of all risk profiles
have historical negative correlation of debt market returns to other asset classes such as shares
through some debt instruments, such as fixed interest bonds, allow investors to generate capital gains (or losses) from changes in interest rates
may help enable clients to diversify or balance their portfolio.
