Fixed Income Funds are all about stability. They give you a reliable income, even when the financial market is unpredictable. They pay you a fixed interest amount or dividend until the maturity date. When the Fixed income matures, investors are repaid the principal amount they had invested. Also, investors know the exact amount of the returns they will get ahead. Government and corporate bonds are the most common types of fixed-income products.
