Spotlight Thought: Peace of Mind and Fixed Income
A client recently asked me: “What’s the best way to achieve security and peace of mind while generating fixed income?”
I shared this analysis comparing three options: Treasury Notes, Corporate Loan Notes, and Secured Bonds. Each promised income, but the differences in risk, collateral, and resilience revealed surprising lessons.
The result? peace of mind isn’t just about returns, it’s about choosing the right balance of security and returns.
Closing Notes
December has been a month of strategic positioning and reflection. As we step into 2025, I look forward to building on this momentum and creating lasting legacies together.
