In this episode, CMO Pieter Oyens talks to Daniel Morris, Chief Market Strategist, about fixed maturity plans which allow investors to lock in interest rates for three, five or seven years, thus capturing a regular flow of coupon payments.
The plans, which can take the form of a mutual fund or an exchange-traded fund (ETF), are timely in that short-term interest rates have now peaked, and leading central banks are beginning to lower them now that economies have plateaued and inflationary pressures in job markets are wearing off.
