Treasuries have been a trendy product for investors recently due to inflation and higher interest rates. Nathaniel explained what U.S. Treasuries are: bills, notes, and bonds. They're considered relatively risk-free investments (as long as the U.S. government doesn't default on its debt). So if you want a fixed income portion within your investment portfolio, and don't want to expose all your assets to the volatile stock market, they could be a useful tool. Even though people say Treasuries are risk-free, there are still some concepts you need to explore before investing: duration (interest rates), opportunity cost, credit risk, liquidity risk, inflation/deflation risk, maturity risk, etc. As always, what may make sense for others, doesn't necessarily make sense for you. Speak with your advisor to see if Treasuries are a good choice for you.
