Defensive Securities
(redirected from Defensive Company)

     0.01 sec.
Defensive securities
Low-risk stocks or bonds that will provide a predictable and safe return on an investor's money.
Defensive Securities
Low-risk securities, especially stocks in companies relatively unaffected by business cycles. In times of market downturn, investors tend to seek defensive securities to provide a steady rate of return, or at least to lose less money than the market as a whole. Examples include stocks in utility companies and the health care industry.
