Equities and Fixed Income Securities
Fixed income investments, such as government, corporate, and municipal bonds, preferred stock, and guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), typically pay interest or dividends on a regular schedule. In addition, bonds promise return of your principal when the bond matures, though that promise is not guaranteed in most cases.
The advantage of fixed income securities as a part of an investment portfolio is that they provide regular, predictable income. The potential disadvantage is that they do not usually increase in value as other investments, including common stock, may. As a result, they make you more vulnerable to inflation risk.
You should choose from these products depending on your circumstances.
