US Treasuries: US$5 billion public amount outstanding, US agencies and supranationals: US$1 billion, Corporate and assetbacked: US$25 million, Mortgage: Entry: US$1 billion minimum amount outstanding per origination year generic when the coupon has a minimum amount outstanding of US$5 billion.

There is an inverse relationship between interest rate movements and fixed income prices. Generally, when interest rates rise, fixed income prices fall and when interest rates fall, fixed income prices rise. U.S. Treasury bills are guaranteed by the U.S. government and, if held to maturity, offer a fixed rate of return and guaranteed principal value. Treasury bills are certificates reflecting shortterm obligations of the U.S. government.
