Investing cannot be made certain, or, as it were, able to meet those criteria. It may be you should not be putting money into investments if you think you should be accomplishing objectives such as those above. You are just hearing from people who seem to think fixed income should be or must be things it isn't. On the other side, if you have enough excess wealth to even consider investing, then you are already far ahead of not having such wealth.
To accomplish the goal is such a challenge! In the worst of times, your fixed income portfolio needs to be perfectly safe, but in all other times, that same portfolio needs to earn and keep up with or exceed inflation. You need to reach, but not too far!
