The goal, typically, is to provide investors a regular income stream with low risk. Fund values will go up and down to some extent, particularly in response to changes in prevailing interest rates. 2, record 1, English, - fixed%20income%20fund

Fonds [à revenu fixe] investissent notamment dans des titres d’emprunt comme les obligations, les débentures et les créances hypothécaires qui procurent un intérêt régulier, ou dans des actions privilégiées d’entreprises qui procurent un dividende régulier. En général, ces fonds visent à procurer aux épargnants une rentrée régulière de revenu moyennant un risque faible.

Mine financing for such senior companies can therefore usually be arranged through normal capital market channels-an underwriting or private placement of debt or long term notes or the sale of common or preferred shares.
