Invest in Corporate Fixed Deposits

Corporate_fixed_deposits_NCDWith rising interest rates and volatile market investors are looking for save heavens. And the most popular instrument is Bank Fixed Deposits. But with rising interest rate coupled with tougher loan criteria from banks, companies have come out with attractive fixed deposit schemes with attractive interest rates. These are also known as Corporate fixed deposits and non-convertible debentures (NCDs).

A word of caution – the returns seems attractive but these investments are usually more riskier than bank fixed deposits and there have been several instances of default by companies in the past in India. So a due diligence on rating and past records is advised.
