Fixed income
Investment grade bonds
Investment grade bonds are debt securities rated by credit rating agencies as having a relatively low risk of default. These bonds are considered suitable for investors who prioritize capital preservation and steady income over higher returns associated with riskier investments.
Typically issued by stable and financially sound entities, such as governments, municipalities, and high-quality corporations, investment-grade bonds are a cornerstone of conservative investment strategies. They offer stability and help reduce overall portfolio risk.
Types of investment grade bonds
Credit rating agencies like Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s (S&P), and Fitch Ratings assign high ratings to investment grade bonds. These bonds are further categorized into:
Sovereign bonds: Issued by national governments, particularly those with strong economies.
Municipal bonds: Issued by local governments or municipalities with strong credit ratings.
Corporate bonds: Issued by large, financially stable corporations with a history of reliable performance.
