Bank Loans
Find options for investing in bank loans, often known as floating rate loans, which may provide high income and help offset the risk of rising interest rates.
Compared to other high yield investments, bank loans may be less risky because they are secured, or collateralized, by the borrower’s assets. That means they have top priority claim if the company were forced into bankruptcy. Bank loans are also variable-rate in nature, which means the coupon rate changes based on market interest rates. This may help offset the risk of rising interest rates while exhibiting less price fluctuation than comparable fixed rate investments.
