Comparing Single Large Fixed Deposit and Multiple Smaller FDs for Flexibility and Risk
Investors choosing between a single large fixed deposit (FD) and multiple smaller FDs should consider factors like liquidity, diversification, and deposit insurance limits. Splitting funds across different banks can increase insurance coverage and reduce concentration risk, while FD laddering—investing in deposits with staggered maturities—provides regular access to funds and mitigates reinvestment risk. Although laddering may not always yield higher returns, it offers flexibility and suits those with planned or unexpected financial needs.
