People should consider investing in corporate bonds, according to one expert.
Peter Hicks, head of the independent financial advice channel at Fidelity International, explained that the investments seem to offer a good return when other traditional products are failing.
He explained that even with falling interest rates and a lack of dividend payments, investments in corporate bonds are currently yielding around nine per cent.
Mr Hicks said: "Companies now have the best incentive in a long while to borrow money from bond investors which is a positive outlook for fixed income ."
The bail out of the global banking system has added an extra layer of protection to the investments, he stated.
Yesterday, research by Fidelity International showed that during the last recession, healthcare-related investments were the best performing.
However, Sanjeev Shah, a fund manager for the company, stated that he believes people will be able to find investments that do well in all sectors if they pick carefully.
