Fixed income
Floating rate bond
Floating rate bonds are often issued by governments, corporations, and financial institutions to attract investors who prefer protection against interest rate fluctuations.
Unlike fixed-rate bonds, which maintain a constant interest rate, floating rate bonds adjust their payments at regular intervals, typically every 3 to 6 months, aligning with current market rates. These bonds are popular during times of rising interest rates, as they can provide a hedge against inflation and interest rate risk.
Fixed rate bonds
Fixed rate bonds are commonly issued by governments and corporations to fund various projects, appealing to investors who value stability and predictable cash flow. Since the interest rate remains constant, fixed rate bonds offer insulation from market interest rate fluctuations, making them especially attractive in stable or declining interest rate environments. However, in rising rate conditions, these bonds may lose value as newer bonds with higher yields become available. Fixed rate bonds are popular for conservative investors looking for steady income and lower risk.
