Fixed income
Income planned
with purpose.
Fixed-income products can provide defined cash-flow structures, diversification and a clearer maturity profile. Their role depends on the issuer, tenure, liquidity, taxation and the risks you are prepared to accept.
Product overview
What sits inside
this opportunity.
Each product has a different role, risk profile, time horizon and liquidity profile. The right choice begins with what your plan needs it to do.
Corporate & government bonds
Debt securities that pay interest and return principal according to their terms. Issuer quality, maturity and prevailing rates influence both risk and value.
Non-convertible debentures
Company-issued debt instruments that may offer fixed or floating coupons. Secured status, credit quality, covenants and liquidity require careful evaluation.
Fixed deposits
Bank and eligible corporate deposits with stated tenures and rates. Premature-withdrawal rules, issuer strength and applicable deposit protection should be understood.
Debt-oriented allocations
A ladder of maturities or a combination of direct fixed-income products and suitable debt funds can help match future cash needs more deliberately.

Important to consider
Suitability is
personal.
Fixed income does not mean risk-free. Instruments may carry credit, interest-rate, liquidity, reinvestment and default risk. Higher stated yields can reflect higher risk. Product documents, ratings, issuer financials and taxation deserve careful review.
The information here is educational and general in nature. Product selection should follow an assessment of goals, risk profile, liquidity needs, eligibility and applicable documentation.
