Retail Participation Grows in Indian Corporate Bond Market Amid Liquidity and Risk Considerations
Retail investors in India are increasingly accessing high-yield corporate bonds through online platforms offering lower minimum investments, driven by flat equity markets and regulatory changes. Yields vary by credit rating, with AA-rated bonds yielding around 9-10% and BBB-rated bonds exceeding 13%. Despite growing retail participation, the corporate bond market still lacks the liquidity and trading volume of equity markets. Experts emphasize that higher yields correspond to higher risks, and credit ratings help investors assess these risks.
