Fixed Income Investments

Fixed income investments are an important part of a well-diversified portfolio. Fixed income investments pay interest at specified times in fixed amounts, and are usually issued by a corporation, municipality, government or government sponsored agency.

There are two primary reasons investors may want to include fixed income investments in their portfolio:

Regular Income - Fixed income investments provide a stable and regular stream of income.
Diversification - Fixed income investments are essential to the performance of an individual investor's portfolio.

Equity Investments

There are three primary reasons investors may choose to incorporate long-term, quality stocks in their portfolio:

Higher Returns - Over a longer period of time, stocks have almost always provided higher returns than other investment alternatives.

Rising Income - Stocks offer the potential for rising income through dividend growth. Rising income helps protect investors against inflation.

Diversification - Stocks, combined with other types of investments, can help reduce the uncertainty of future portfolio returns, compared to owning only one type of security.

Learn more about equity investments and their place in a diversified portfolio by contacting your Investment Advisor.
