| Flight
to Quality |
 |
When investors move their capital to the safest possible investment
vehicle because of uncertainty in financial markets.
|
 |
An
example is when investors move their money to government securities
and money market funds because the stock markets are heading south.
One way to find out if there is a flight to quality is when the yield
on government securities falls dramatically because there is increased
demand for them. |
