Equities and Fixed Income Securities
Fixed income investments can be used to satisfy two major investment objectives:
1) Preserve Capital/Stabilize Portfolio Returns
2) Generate Income
To satisfactorily preserve capital, it is necessary to manage risk. You can attempt to control the risk associated with owning fixed income bonds in several ways including:
- Maintain intermediate term (5-10 years) average duration to reduce the risk associated with higher interest rates
- Maintain high credit quality to lessen default risk
- Seek adequate diversification to reduce event risk
- Ladder maturities to mitigate reinvestment risk
