Essential Knowledge about Fixed Income
Fixed income is a fundamental strategy for ensuring the tranquility and continuity of family wealth. It is considered a safer investment alternative compared to higher-risk investments, such as stocks or cryptocurrencies, because it involves assets with predictable and defined returns at the time of investment.
Fixed Income Investments
Fixed income investments involve purchasing bonds issued by governments, companies, or financial institutions. These bonds can have different maturities, ranging from short to long-term, and offer investors the promise of receiving periodic interest payments and the principal amount back on the maturity date.
Predictable Returns
One of the main advantages of fixed income investments is the predictability of returns. By acquiring a bond, the investor knows in advance the interest rate or yield they will receive, which allows for more secure planning of earnings and financial goals.

Variety of Options
There are various fixed income securities available in the market, such as Treasury Direct, CDBs (Certificates of Bank Deposit), LCIs (Real Estate Credit Letters), LCAs (Agricultural Credit Letters), debentures, among others. Each has specific characteristics, such as different maturities, risks, and returns, allowing investors to choose those that best fit their objectives.
Low Risk
Generally, fixed income investments are considered low-risk, especially when compared to variable income investments, such as stocks. However, it is important to note that there are risks associated with these investments, such as credit risk (the possibility of default by the issuer) and market risk (fluctuations in bond prices in the secondary market).
Variable Liquidity
The liquidity of fixed income investments can vary depending on the type of bond. Some bonds have daily liquidity, allowing investors to redeem their investment at any time, while others have longer maturities and may require a commitment of capital for a specified period.
Taxation
Gains from fixed income investments may be subject to Income Tax, with the rate varying according to the length of the investment. It is important to be aware of tax rules to make informed financial decisions.
Final Considerations
Fixed income investments are a safe and stable option for those seeking to preserve capital and achieve predictable returns. However, it is crucial to understand the different types of available securities, their maturities, and associated risks before investing, in addition to considering your long-term financial goals.
