But first, what are bonds?
Bonds are fixed-income securities where you lend money to issuers (could be a corporate company or the government) and, in return, earn regular interest along with repayment of principal at maturity. They are generally considered less volatile than equities and play a key role in balancing portfolios.
Why Invest in Bonds?
Diversify your portfolio: Balance risk by offsetting your equity, MF, or real estate exposure. Bonds are more stable and often rise when stocks fall
Get regular income: Similar to a fixed deposit, bonds offer predictable cash flows with interest paid monthly, quarterly, or annually
Earn more than Fixed Deposits: Corporate bonds offer higher yields than bank FDs and are tradable on exchanges without exit penalties
Tax-free bonds: Tax-free bonds from top-rated government issuers help reduce tax outgo while earning steady returns
