i dont understand - "$1.6m was invested at a 5% yield".

My Questions
1) where did you invest?
2) is 5% guaranteed?
3) can there be negative returns?
4) is there a possibility that you will lose your $1.6m?
5) for how long is your investment? how many years?
]6) you get $80k as a lumpsum per year or $80/12 (on monthly basis) - what is the deal?
