Bonds
What this service covers.
Bonds are a vital component of any well-rounded investment strategy. They offer a stable source of income and are a solid addition to your financial portfolio. Bonds represent loans that you provide to corporations or governments. In return, you receive periodic interest payments and the repayment of the bond's face value at maturity. They are a conservative choice for those seeking steady returns.

Corporate Bonds
Issued by corporations, these offer higher interest rates but come with slightly higher risk.

Municipal Bonds

What is a mutual fund?
A mutual fund pools money from multiple investors and invests it in securities such as equities, bonds, money-market instruments, or a combination of asset classes according to the scheme's stated investment objective.
Mutual fund schemes are managed by Asset Management Companies (AMCs). The value of an investment may increase or decrease depending on market conditions and the performance of the securities held by the scheme.
Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Read all scheme-related documents carefully before investing.
What is a SIP in mutual funds?
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a facility through which an investor can invest a predetermined amount in a mutual fund scheme at regular intervals, such as monthly or quarterly. SIPs can make it convenient to invest periodically without making a single large investment. However, a SIP does not guarantee returns or protect an investor from market losses.
Can I redeem my mutual fund investment whenever I want?
Many open-ended mutual fund schemes permit investors to redeem their units on business days, subject to the applicable scheme terms.
However, certain schemes may have lock-in periods, exit loads, redemption restrictions, or other conditions. Investors should review the relevant Scheme Information Document and applicable terms before investing or redeeming units.
