Top Ten Fixed Rate Bonds
Finding the top ten fixed rate bonds for your needs will depend on your own individual circumstances. When you invest in fixed rate bonds you loan your capital in return for a fixed rate of interest for a predetermined period of time, usually between six months and five years.
You will need to balance your desired return rate with your attitude to risk and the length of time you are able to commit your funds for. The higher the risk of your investment the higher the interest rate you are likely to get. Interest rates are also likely to rise the longer you are able to commit your funds for.
Use the table below to compare some of the top fixed rate bonds, alternatively speak to an independent investment advisor.
