In a swiftly evolving investment environment, bonds are becoming a crucial asset class for Indian investors seeking portfolio stability and predictable returns. With equities experiencing volatility and fixed deposits yielding returns below inflation after taxes, bonds are establishing themselves as a reliable option for both capital preservation and growth.
Saurav Ghosh, Co-founder of Jiraaf, asserts that this changing sentiment is supported by increased market involvement and enhanced regulatory transparency. He notes a rise in retail interest in bonds following the establishment of SEBI’s online bond provider platform norms in November 2022, highlighting this as a favorable moment for investors to consider the fixed-income path.
