What is a fixed-income asset? 

A fixed-income asset is an asset that provides regular, fixed-interest payments, returning the principal amount on maturity. Fixed-income assets pay periodic interest, which tends to be quarterly or annually. They are typically deemed lower-risk investments, making them a popular choice for investors looking to diversify their portfolios and generate steady, more predictable income.

Some examples of fixed-income assets include government bonds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, treasury bills, and certificates of deposit (CDs).
