FIXED INCOME

The fixed income market is the second largest market next to the FOREX market. The majority of investors have some form of fixed income within their portfolios - some don't even know it!

Fixed income refers to any type of investment that yields a regular or fixed return, however, for our purposes here at Richer Trading we wish to focus on the investment vehicles.


What is fixed income?

Fixed income refers to debt instruments such as Bonds or treasury bills. It can also refer to "preferred stock". Debt instruments usually fall into two categories... government issued or corporate issued. The most common bonds are:

  • Government & Agency
  • Municipal Bonds
  • Corporate Bonds
  • Mortgage Backed, Asset Backed, and Collateralized Debt Obligation
  • Funding
  • "Junk" Bonds

 

 

WHY HAVE OR TRADE FIXED INCOME?

Fixed income securities can be contrasted with variable return securities, such as stocks, to help diversify a portfolio. During times of market distress or high interest rates fixed income can far out-perform the 100% equity portfolio. Most wealth/ financial managers suggest a percentage of your portfolio be in these instruments.

As far as trading them, well if you have an idea of where interest rates are going then you might have an idea where bonds are going. Bonds have an inverse relationship to interest rates. As interest rates go down, bonds go up and vice versa. The relationship between interest fixed income and interest rates are further explained in our Introduction to Fixed Income and our Fixed Income 101 courses.
