Why Fixed Income Matters
Fixed income investments serve as a foundation for many long-term portfolios. Here’s how they can support your goals:
-
Create a steady stream of interest payments to help fund lifestyle needs, especially in retirement.
-
Help balance more growth-oriented investments and cushion your portfolio during periods of market uncertainty.
-
Provide a more stable option when equities experience downturns, helping to preserve your wealth.
-
Align investment income with your cash flow requirements so you can meet expenses with greater confidence.
-
Enhance overall portfolio resilience by including a variety of fixed income instruments that respond differently to economic changes.
These investments often bring stability to an otherwise shifting financial landscape. We help ensure your fixed income strategy works in harmony with your broader financial plan.
Fixed-income securities are exposed to various risks including but not limited to credit (risk of default or principal and interest payments), market and liquidity, interest rate, reinvestment, legislative (changes to the tax code), and call risks. There is an inverse relationship between interest rate movements and fixed income prices. Generally, when interest rates rise, fixed income prices fall and when interest rates fall, fixed income prices generally rise. If bonds are sold prior to maturity, you may receive more or less than your initial investment.
Bond Ladders are an investment technique, in which an investor blends several bonds with differing maturities, provides the benefit of blending higher long-term rates with short-term liquidity. Should interest rates remain unchanged, increase, or even decline, a laddered approach to fixed income investing may help mitigate risk, stabilize yields, provide flexibility and provide shorter-term liquidity. Risks include but are not limited to: changes in interest rates, liquidity, credit quality, volatility and duration.
Municipal securities typically provide a lower yield than comparably rated taxable investments in consideration of their tax-advantaged status. Investments in municipal securities may not be appropriate for all investors, particularly those who do not stand to benefit from the tax status of the investment. Please consult an income tax professional to assess the impact of holding such securities on your tax liability.
