Fixed Interest Investments

Fixed Interest Investments

Fixed Interest Investments, or Gilts and Bonds are financial instruments that pay a fixed income from a fixed capital sum. They are mainly issued by governments and large corporations as a means of borrowing money on the international markets.

Government and corporate bonds can be purchased through banks or stock brokers. Their return is called a "coupon" and is normally payable annually, on the anniversary date of issue. Insurance companies offer similar facilities, such as annuities and income bonds.
