Preservation of capital: Most bonds and CDs are issued with a set interest payment (the coupon) and a maturity date on which the original face value will be repaid. They're designed to let you invest knowing that, although the bonds fluctuate in price from the time they are issued, you will receive the full face amount of the bond when it matures. Income: They can help provide a steady stream of income. This can be helpful for budgeting and may be indispensable for investors who are retired or otherwise require a steady income stream. Diversification: They can help provide stability in a portfolio, because bond prices often (but don’t always) move in a different direction than stock prices. A portfolio that contains both stocks and bonds tends to be less volatile than one that contains only one of these asset classes.
