Bonds and Fixed Deposits (FDs)

Building a Foundation of Stability and Income

Bonds and Fixed Deposits (FDs) are cornerstones of a well-rounded investment strategy, providing stability, predictable income, and capital preservation. They are particularly valuable for investors seeking a conservative approach or those looking to balance higher-risk investments in their portfolio.

Bonds

Loaning to Governments and Corporations

When you invest in a bond, you are essentially lending money to a government entity or a corporation. In return, the issuer promises to pay you regular interest (coupon payments) and repay the principal amount at maturity.

Variety of Options

Bonds come in various forms, including government bonds, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds, each with its own risk and return characteristics.

Fixed Income Stream

Bonds provide a predictable stream of income through regular coupon payments, making them suitable for investors seeking consistent cash flow.

Potential for Capital Appreciation

Bond prices can fluctuate in the secondary market, offering the potential for capital gains if market conditions are favorable.

Fixed Deposits (FDs)

Guaranteed Returns

FDs offer guaranteed returns with a fixed interest rate for a specified tenure. This makes them a safe and predictable investment option, especially for risk-averse investors.

Flexible Tenures

FDs are available for various tenures, allowing you to choose an investment horizon that aligns with your financial goals.

Easy Accessibility

FDs are offered by banks and financial institutions, making them easily accessible to investors.

Tax Efficiency

Certain types of FDs offer tax benefits, making them an attractive option for tax-conscious investors.

Private Fixed Deposits

Credit Risk

There is a risk that borrowers may default on their loans. P2P platforms employ credit assessment and risk mitigation strategies, but it's essential to understand and accept this risk.

Key Considerations

At Vistara, we can assist you in constructing a diversified portfolio that includes bonds and FDs, tailored to your risk tolerance, investment goals, and time horizon. We’ll guide you through the selection process, ensuring your investments align with your overall financial plan

Interest Rate Risk

Bond prices and FD rates are influenced by prevailing interest rates. When interest rates rise, bond prices may fall, and vice versa.

Credit Risk

With corporate bonds and private FDs, there's a risk that the issuer may default on their obligations. It's crucial to assess the creditworthiness of the issuer before investing.

Liquidity

While most bonds can be traded in the secondary market, liquidity may vary. FDs typically have a fixed tenure, and early withdrawal may attract penalties.
