There are risks associated with fixed-income investments, including credit risk, interest rate risk, and prepayment and extension risk. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer term securities.
Non-investment-grade (high-yield or junk) securities present greater price volatility and more risk to principal and income than higher rated securities.
