Fixed income security is a type of investment instrument that provides regular fixed returns and principal returns at maturity, for example: money markets, deposits, bonds and preferred shares. Even though fixed income security has low risk, the returns obtained are also low. In general, interest will be paid every six months or twice a year, while the investment principal will be paid at maturity. There are several types of fixed income security issued by the United States government such as:

T-Notes. Medium term investment period 2 to 10 years nominal value US$1000 per bond.

Long-term T-Bonds mature in 30 years, face value US$10k and are sold via TreasuryDirect auction.

T-bills have a one-year period from issuance without interest payments, but investors can buy T-bills at a lower value and there are often discounts.
