Search Best Investments find the best fixed rate bonds for investors that beats inflation.

Protecting against inflation is the top priority for investors. And sometimes the best defense is a strong offense…

Fixed rate bonds and Gilts are the safest way for investors to keep there money working for them.

What are fixed rate bonds?

A fixed rate bond is a type of savings account that lets you put your money away for a set period of time in return for a fixed amount of interest on your cash. By financial definition you are actually loaning your money to a bank and they are paying you back the original amount plus any interest earned on the dates set out on the terms and conditions. As a fixed rate bond is a type of savings account, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) will cover up to £85,000.00 of your deposit or £170,000.00 per joint account on any UK bank or building society deposits. In case the bank goes out of business, the FSCS will also cover the interest you’ve earned up until that point as well, provided the total invested amount in the account is still under the £85,000.00 limit or £170,000.00 per joint account.

How do fixed rate bonds work?

Fixed rate bonds are available with different terms. In general, the longer the term, the higher the interest rate. Most fixed rate bonds require a minimum deposit to open the account. Unlike many other savings accounts, you are usually only allowed to pay in once, which is when you open the account. Providers of fixed rate bonds may give you the option to have earned interest paid out either bi-annually or annually. Most bonds require you to lock away your money for a set period of time, however some bonds offer an “easy access” option which allows you to access your capital at any time by giving notice and paying a liquidation fee. With fixed rate bonds, the “term” is the amount of time you choose to lock your money away for, i.e. 1 year or 2 years.

Can the interest rate change on a fixed rate bond?

No, the interest rate is fixed until your account matures.

What are Gilts?

A Gilt is a bond issued by the UK Government. It’s one of the many ways the HM Treasury generates annual revenue. The benefit of a gilt is unlike a corporate bond, the full value of the bond issue is guaranteed by the HM treasury. So if you were to invest up to £5,000,000,00 in UK Treasury Gilts for example; the full value of your capital is guaranteed, unlike a bank based bond that5 only has a protection limit of £85,000.00.

What are the benefits of a Gilt?

The benefit of owning a Gilt is that investors know with certainty how much interest they will earn and for how long. If you are interested in safely investing a lump sum, a bonus from work, proceeds of a house sale or even an inheritance, then a Gilt is likely to be your best bet.

How do Gilts work?

In general, the longer the term, the higher the interest rate. Most Gilts require a minimum deposit to open the account. Unlike many other savings accounts, you are usually only allowed to pay in once, which is when you open the account. The HM Treasury gives you the option to have earned interest paid out either bi-annually or annually. Most Gilts require you to lock away your money for a set period of time, however some companies offer an “easy access” option which allows you to access your capital at any time by giving notice and paying a liquidation fee.

Can the interest rate change on a Gilt?

No, the interest rate is fixed until your account matures…

Why Wellness Care Centers is carrying Austin Air Filters for 2022

0

Covid-19, also known as SARS-CoV-2, within the coronavirus family, has been a primary focus in the news and health industry as it has altered day-to-day life for most. This pandemic has paused most places of business which encourage larger gatherings such as schools, office buildings, and restaurants. As most of society attempts to pick up life before the lock-down, putting an end to this virus has been most critical these past 2 years.

Internationally, Health professionals seek information, gathering new facts each day to stifle the virus’s ability to linger in the air, focusing on ventilated indoor spaces. This brings up the question of how HEPA filtration could aid the situation, improving air quality by capturing any lingering germs (Covid-19) that may be traveling nearby.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated May 7, 2021 that it has been improving prevention methods to help suppress coronavirus transmission methods. An official statement by the CDC states Covid-19 “The smallest very fine droplets, and aerosol particles formed when these fine droplets rapidly dry, are small enough that they can remain suspended in the air for minutes to hours.”

The CDC previously remarked that Covid-19 was spread by person-to-person contact via respiratory droplets that were not large enough to remain airborne for extended periods of time. As evidence of airborne transmission was shown, the CDC was forced to alter their public stance.

We are now coming to understand that this virus is transmitted from person to person through evolving both experience and research. CDC has had many changes in its coronavirus guidelines. Back in September of 2020, the CDC had stated that inhalation of respiratory droplets was the main vector for spreading Covid-19.

Seeing that SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) measures about 125 nanometers, or .125 microns, in diameter. Many news sources have falsely reported that HEPA filters can only capture particles that show measurements of more than .3 microns. However, high-quality air purifiers with a trustworthy HEPA filter are crucially effective when trapping particles that are miniscule in comparison to SARS-CoV-2 (down to 10 nanometers or .01 microns).

Filtration strength of this caliber shows HEPA purifiers are more than capable of trapping even the smallest of viruses, even aerosolized saliva and mucus that known to transport them. It is said CDC has acknowledged the role of high-quality air purifiers and how they could drastically improve indoor air quality during most pandemics. According to CDC guidelines, “when used properly, air purifiers can help reduce airborne contaminants, including viruses, in a home or confined space.”

The current CDC guidelines for national health care experts specify that the air from hospital rooms occupied by Covid-19 patients “should be exhausted directly to the outside or be filtered through a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter directly before recirculation.” Adding that they advise the use of portable air purifiers with HEPA filtration, these devices should be active when permanent air handling systems are impractical or unavailable. This is important in minimizing the spread of any airborne illness through hospitals, schools, offices, and homes.

HEPA filtration devices have been developed and seen useful since the early 1940s, the CDC’s guidelines show this is still true. With reported cases of Covid-19 continuing to climb, many school systems, companies, and homes are turning to portable air purifiers to enhance the quality that HVAC units and natural ventilation provide, overall decreasing the spread of this disease. In fact, New York City Public Schools (NYCPS), one of the largest school systems in the USA, recently purchased 30,000 HEPA purifiers to help keep their students and faculties safe.

Everywhere from homes to public spaces of any kind, America along with other countries need to have proper air circulation. This is crucial so that certain spaces/ situations feel safer overall.

Wellness Care Centers, local vitamin store – nutrition consultant, health coaching evaluated the HEPA air filter providers and chose to carry Austin Air products. “We’re thankful to carry this product so that we can help ensure top air quality for those who need it.”

These purifiers are made of steel with a non-toxic coat of paint overtop, needing no plastic at all, there’s nothing else like this currently available.

This is why WCC had to get our hands on it, providing you with only high-quality products, regarding health & wellness, we are here to serve!

Search Best Investments Compare Treasury Bonds. The safe way to best inflation

0

The good news is that treasury bonds are guaranteed by the government. They can be good investments for those who are in or close to retirement as well as younger investors who seek a stable return.

Treasury bonds can be a good investment for those looking for safety and a fixed rate of interest that’s paid semiannually until the bond’s maturity.

Bonds are an important piece of an investment portfolio’s asset allocation since the steady return from bonds helps offset the volatility of equity prices.

Investors who are closer to retirement tend to have a larger percentage of their portfolio in bonds, while younger investors may have a smaller percentage.

Corporate bonds tend to pay a higher yield than Treasury bonds since corporate bonds have a default risk, while Treasury bonds are guaranteed.

Advantages of Treasury Bonds:

Although Treasury bonds can be a good investment, they have both advantages and disadvantages. Some of the advantages include:

Steady Income

Treasury bonds pay a fixed rate of interest, which can provide a steady income stream. As a result, bonds can offer investors a steady return that can help offset potential losses from other investments in their portfolio, such as equities.

Risk-free

Treasury bonds are considered risk-free assets, meaning there is no risk that the investor will lose their principal. In other words, investors that hold the bond until maturity are guaranteed their principal or initial investment.

Liquid

Treasury bonds can also be sold before their maturity in the secondary bond market. In other words, there is so much liquidity, meaning an ample amount of buyers and sellers, investors can easily sell their existing bonds if they need to sell their position.

Despite the advantages, Treasury bonds come with a disadvantage that investors should consider before investing.

Lower Rate of Return

The interest income earned from a Treasury bond can result in a lower rate of return versus other investments, such as equities. Most Treasury bonds will only pay between 1-5% fixed interest per annum at best.

The Bottom Line: Bonds can find a place in any diversified portfolio whether you’re young or in retirement. Bonds can provide safety, income and help to reduce risk in an investment portfolio. Bonds can be mixed within a portfolio of equities or laddered to mature each year, providing access to cash when they mature. Investors should consider some exposure to bonds as part of a well-balanced portfolio, whether they’re corporate bonds or Treasury bonds.

What are Gilts?

A Gilt is a bond issued by the UK Government. It’s one of the many ways the HM Treasury generates annual revenue. The benefit of a gilt is unlike a corporate bond, the full value of the bond issue is guaranteed by the HM treasury. So if you were to invest up to £5,000,000,00 in UK Treasury Gilts for example; the full value of your capital is guaranteed, unlike a bank based bond.

What are the benefits of a Gilt?

The benefit of owning a Gilt is that investors know with certainty how much interest they will earn and for how long. If you are interested in safely investing a lump sum, a bonus from work, proceeds of a house sale or even an inheritance, then a Gilt is likely to be your best bet.

How do Gilts work?

In general, the longer the term, the higher the interest rate. Most Gilts require a minimum deposit to open the account. Unlike many other savings accounts, you are usually only allowed to pay in once, which is when you open the account. The HM Treasury gives you the option to have earned interest paid out either bi-annually or annually. Most Gilts require you to lock away your money for a set period of time, however some companies offer an “easy access” option which allows you to access your capital at any time by giving notice and paying a liquidation fee.

Can the interest rate change on a Gilt?

No, the interest rate is fixed until your account matures..

Here’s what Mark Sutton an asset management advisor for a renowned banking institution had to say:

“Keeping your money in short-term Treasury bonds is a similar strategy as maintaining cash in a savings account. If your money is in a Gilt your money is safer than it would be in your bank account because the HM treasury will guarantee up to £5m of your investment and its just as accessible whenever you need it. The huge benefit you get with a Gilt is being paid up to 5% fixed interest per annum. Taking into account todays economic climate, I say a guaranteed 5% of something, is better than 100% of nothing,” says Mark Sutton.

Searchbestinvestments.com offers several fixed rate, government protected investments. Some yield up to 5% fixed interest per annum over a one to five year term and even allow you to gain access to the funds with just 14 day’s notice.
