FAQ
What are some of the risks associated with fixed income investments?
Fixed income investments are not without risks. One risk is interest rate risk, which occurs when interest rates rise, causing the value of fixed income investments to decline. Other risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, and inflation risk. It's important for investors to understand these risks and choose investments that align with their investment goals and risk tolerance.
Where does StoneX trade fixed income securities?
The Fixed Income Division of StoneX has traders and analysts around the world with offices on several continents. We offer our clients the ability to trade fixed income securities around the world, ranging from U.S. government bonds to emerging market sovereign debt in Latin America, Central America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. We provide our clients with trading execution, product knowledge, and investment analysis across these regions by relying on the deep market knowledge of our traders, salesforce and research analysts.
How do interest rates affect fixed income investments?
Interest rates have a significant impact on fixed income investments because they determine the yield that the investment will provide. When interest rates rise, the yield on fixed income investments also increase whereas the prices fall, making them more attractive to investors. Conversely, when interest rates fall, the yield on fixed income investments decreases, which can make them less appealing to investors.
What are the benefits of investing in fixed income securities?
Fixed income investments provide stable income streams and are generally considered less risky than other types of investments, such as stocks. They also offer a predictable return on investment, which can be attractive for investors who are looking for steady income or want to protect their wealth.
What types of fixed income products does StoneX specialize in?
StoneX trades in a broad range of fixed income products, offering liquidity in U.S. Government and Agency Debt (including Treasury Notes, Treasury Bonds, and Treasury Bills), Securitized Products (including asset-backed securities, pass-through MBS, collateralized mortgage obligations, and collateralized debt obligations), municipal securities, convertible debt, U.S. credit, and emerging and frontier market sovereign debt.
How can investors diversify their fixed income investments?
Investors can diversify their fixed income investments by investing in a variety of fixed income products, such as bonds, Treasury securities, and money market funds. They can also diversify by investing in fixed income products with varying maturities and credit ratings. By diversifying, investors can spread their risk and potentially improve their overall investment returns.
How much does the policy of the Federal Reserve affect the movement of a bond’s price?
The Federal Reserve policies do not directly change the prices of corporate bonds, but they can influence the overall bond market greatly. Certain bonds, specifically longer-term investment grade bonds, are sensitive to changes in yield and will react considerably to fed policies. That’s not the case for all bonds, as instruments such as distressed bonds generally are not affected by fed policies.
