Investing in fixed income securities is generally subject to the risks associated with debt securities, including credit, liquidity, interest rate, prepayment and deferment risks. Bond prices change inversely with interest rates. Thus, a general rise in interest rates could lead to lower bond prices. The value of variable and floating rate securities is generally less sensitive to changes in interest rates than fixed rate securities. Floating rate and floating rate securities may lose value if interest rates do not move as expected. In contrast, floating-rate and variable-rate securities typically do not increase in value if market rates fall. Credit risk is the risk of an issuer defaulting on its interest and principal payments. Credit risk is higher when investing in high-yield bonds (also known as junk bonds). Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer of a security may repay the principal sooner than originally expected. Delay risk is the risk that the issuer of a security may repay principal at a slower rate than originally expected. All fixed income investments may be worth less than their original cost upon redemption or maturity.
