Fixed Income Investments


Fixed Income Investments are an important part of a balanced portfolio. Whether your goal is to diversify your investments, save for the future, receive a regular income or shelter earnings from taxes, by adding fixed income investments to your portfolio, you may improve returns while reducing overall portfolio risk.

Schwab offers a variety of fixed income products including:

U.S. Goverment Securities

  • Treasury bills, notes and bonds - easy-to-trade investments of varying maturity.
  • Zero coupon Treasuries (STRIPs)1 - offering growth potential through the power of interest compounding.
  • U.S. government agency securities - historically higher yields with comparable maturity.

Corporate Bonds, Convertible Bonds, Hybrid Preferred Securities and Preferred Stocks

More aggressive choices for investors willing to take on credit risk.

Mortgage-backed Securities (GNMAs)

For investors desiring a monthly income who are willing to take on some risk.
1. STRIPs are zero-coupon bonds backed by the faith and credit of the U.S. government and are purchased at a discount with full face value being received at maturity. For U.S. taxpayers Interest income from STRIPs is subject to annual ordinary income tax, even though no income is received by the investor until maturity.

The international arena is much more complex than the U.S. market. Political and economic events and legal and regulatory structures can potentially result in a loss of principal.
