Fixed Income Investments. You take on the r i sk that the i ssuer of the fixed income instrument or the counterparty may not honour its obligations to pay principal and/or interest, resulting in losses to you. In this regard, published ratings of any issuer of fixed income instrument should be supplemented by your own credit analysis of the issuer’s credit risk as changes in the ratings of any issuer of fixed income instrument may lag behind changes in financial conditions. You should perform periodic independent analysis to determine the credit risk of the issuer of any fixed income instrument and evaluate the merits and risks of such fixed income instrument. You are exposed to liquidity risk as there may be no market for a fixed income instrument and you may not be able to sell the fixed income instrument at the desired time or price. Even when a market exists, there may be a substantial difference between the offer and purchase price for a fixed income instrument. You are exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations as the value of fixed income instruments will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. The degree of interest rate sensitivity depends on the maturity, coupon and call provisions of the fixed income instrument. Floating rate fixed income instruments lessen your interest rate risk to the extent that the interest rate adjustments are responsive to market rate movements. If the issuer of the fixed income instruments has the right to redeem the fixed income instruments before maturity, this can adversely affect your exposure. Additional Risks of Investing in Fixed Income Investments with Special Features 1 High Yield High-yield bonds/debentures are typically rated below investment grade or are unrated and as such are often subject to a higher risk of issuer default. High-yield bonds/ debentures typically fall more in value than investment grade bonds/debentures during economic downturns as: (a) investors become more risk averse; and (b) default risk rises.
