Demand for fixed income securities comes from institutional as well as self directed individual investors who like the reasonably moderate risk profile, and predictable & stable returns of bond coupon payments.
Fixed income investors, as well as finance professionals who aspire to get into fixed income jobs, must have the capability to critically assess these questions in fixed income analysis:
- Is the real interest rate built into the yield of the fixed income security reasonable?
- Is the real interest rate in line with the expected GDP / earnings growth rate?
- Any changes expected in the basic real interest rate in the near term?
- Do prevailing market conditions force any monetary easing or tightening in such that the base real interest rate of the fixed income security will change?
- Is the risk premium built into the yield of the fixed income security reasonably sufficient to compensate for risks?
- What are the risks the have already been priced into the premium of the fixed income security by the market, and what are the new or hidden risks the market may have overlooked?
- How has the volume of demand and supply for a particular fixed income security evolved?
