Growing Interest in Corporate Bonds as Investors Seek Steady Income and Diversification
Indian investors are increasingly turning to corporate bonds for steady income and portfolio diversification amid flat equity returns. Higher-rated bonds, such as AA-rated issuers, offer yields around 8-10%, while lower-rated bonds provide higher returns with increased risk. Experts advise retail investors to favor safer, well-known issuers and avoid riskier BBB-rated bonds. Improved digital access and smaller ticket sizes are making bonds more accessible, addressing previous barriers of awareness and complexity in the fixed-income market.
