Fixed-Rate Liability

Fixed-rate liability is a borrowing or obligation whose interest rate remains fixed for its specified term or fixed-rate period.

Why this matters to income investors

Funding cost stays fixed for a period while asset income may change.

How to use fixed-rate liability in your research

Check when the asset income and borrowing costs reset. A rate change can reach each side at a different time, so compare the net effect on the earnings used to fund distributions.
