How it's used
Refers specifically to long term, stable holdings like real estate or land that provide a sense of security. It carries a slightly formal or traditional tone, often associated with the idea of building a foundation for a family. You will rarely hear it used in casual slang, as it belongs more to discussions about personal finance or property ownership.
Examples
Their family has quite a few fixed assets, so their life is very stable.
Do you think buying property counts as a type of fixed asset?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with general savings or liquid cash, as the term implies something immovable or permanent. It is not used to describe stocks or volatile investments.
