12 mins confidence: 
investment Explanation: Das Modell basiert auf der Annahme, dass die Aktienrenditen um einen Mittelwert, der einer risikofreien Zinsanlage entspricht, statistisch normal verteilt sind. The model is based on the assumption that stock yields are normally distributed in statistical terms around a mean corresponding to a risk-free investment in an interest-bearing security. |

Fixed-income investment Explanation: This inverse relationship between interest rates and prices is usually described using "bonds", e.g. the price of a bond rises when interest rates fall and falls when interest rates rise. Of course, this is only true for bonds with fixed coupons, i.e. "fixed-income securities". In your case, however, since the German term uses "Anlage", this would be changed to "fixed-income investments". See the Wikipedia page for "Fixed Income": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_income -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2016-02-25 07:36:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Interest-bearing investment" is also fine. When "interest" is mentioned, people generally assume a fixed interest rate, just like bonds are generally assumed to be fixed coupon bonds. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2016-02-25 15:36:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If there is any confusion over what "fixed-income" means, the Wikipedia article above does a decent job of explaining it. It basically means that a security, investment, etc. gives a fixed stream of income. This usually makes us think of a bond, since we normally think of fixed coupon bonds. There are, however, other kinds of bonds. Floating-rate notes, for example, where the rate paid by the note changes according to changes in a reference rate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_rate_note The inverse relationship between price and interest rate might not apply to bonds that are not fixed-income bonds. But floating rate notes are nevertheless interest-bearing securities. They just bear interest at a variable rate. |
