Investing With Best Mutual Funds Or Fixed Yield Investments
People who are investing their savings have a choice of two kinds of investment vehicles
into which they can put their money: fixed and non-fixed income assets. The former is a financial product such as a bond that pays out very stable returns over time. The latter such as a mutual fund pays out more erratically but with benefits that are described below.
While fixed income products are steady, the returns tend to be quite low in comparison to other options. People who have recently retired or do not have alternate sources of income find this to be the best bet. And while non-fixed income products are erratic, the returns are somewhat higher (but there are exceptions as it is not predictable). People who are young or have many alternate sources of money find this to be a possible bet.
When trying to make a choice between either kind of investment, investors will come across a rate of return. In the fixed income case, this has real meaning in that the payout will be annually at the rate of return. But in the non-fixed income case, this is merely a guess based on historical returns calculated over some time period. Top mutual funds advertise high returns but these rates are not guaranteed. Investors should be careful not to depend too strongly on this number holding long in the future.
This article considers real types of fixed income securities in the following.
Individuals who are interested in fixed income products and getting a better yield than a bank account might consider the money market account. Such accounts are carried by mostly short term financial instruments. If in a fund form, it is often sold by mutual fund companies and is an aggregate of many money market securities.
A poorly known, semi-fixed investment in the world of finance is the GNMA fund, frequently overshadowed by the similar companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Most interested people might remember that in recent years Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae got severely damaged in the real estate bubble of late 2000s. Despite this, Ginnie Mae survived mostly unscathed and possibly is in a vastly superior position.
Bonds are a stalwart fixed income product. The day-to-day activities of a government, such as running a police force on the city level, or the city college system accepting students on the state level, depends upon borrowed money. The borrowed resources is in the form of a bond which is basically a promise to return the borrowed money plus a little extra return. Personal investors, companies and even foreign governments buy bonds offered by the United States government.
