Experts Advise Considering Corporate Bond Funds Amid Stable Interest Rates
Corporate bond mutual funds offer relatively safer investment options by focusing on high-rated company papers, suitable for investors with a three-year or longer horizon. Experts highlight the importance of safety and interest rate considerations amid persistent inflation and a cautious central bank stance. With the RBI maintaining the repo rate at 5.25%, bond yields around 7-7.25% present an opportunity to lock in returns. Investors may consider longer-duration bond funds for diversification and liquidity instead of fixed deposits or individual bonds.
