fixed-income
Predictable regular earnings
Fixed-income describes investments that pay a set, predictable return—typically bonds or certificates of deposit that yield regular interest payments.
Fixed-income securities are popular with retirees seeking stable returns.
The term also describes people, especially retirees, living on pensions or savings that don't increase with inflation: Rising prices hit those on fixed incomes hardest.
