Fixed Income Market

The fixed income market is where investors buy and sell securities that provide regular income over time, like bonds. When you purchase a bond, you're lending money to a government or company, which agrees to pay you back the principal amount plus interest at set intervals. This market is generally less risky than stocks, making it popular for those seeking steady returns and capital preservation. The prices of these securities can fluctuate based on interest rates, credit ratings, and economic conditions, impacting the income investors receive.
