What are Fixed-Coupon Bonds?
Fixed-coupon bonds are a type of bond where the interest rate, or coupon, remains constant throughout the bond’s life. This means investors know exactly what interest payments they will receive at regular intervals. Unlike floating-rate bonds where the interest rate can change, fixed-coupon bonds offer a predictable income stream.
