As we all are aware RBI is continuously reducing repo rate which results in reduction of fixed deposits interest rates as low as 5.1% per year on 1 year deposit …. If you have suggestions for better investment prospects please share with details….

Can suggest liquid or debt fund during this critical situation or if any bank offer you good intreast keep less than 5 lakhs in savings like kotak Mahindra

Can tell you a good plan place that money in Liquid Fund and use Systematic Withdrawal plan to fetch money from it every month which is intrest.
Now send this intrest to SIP at this volatile market.

It wud benefit you later.

There is 1 more suggestion increase liquids fund amount in a year this will increase intrest and your SIP installment Increase in SIP installment, this volatile market and long term compound effect are favourable to your money like favourable climatic conditions to crops. Help you grow better and also your hard earned money is safe.

Do DM me for more details I can explain everything on phone call if you need

investors do comment I too want to learn from you people.

I came to know about 7.75% taxable bonds by govt of India yesterday which was withdrawn today… More details can be seen below:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.economictimes.co...

These bonds gives fixed return of 1703 on investment of 1000 after 7 years…. This was the best investment option considering current market conditions… It was advertised less… I don’t know why… I also miss the chance to invest in it…

There is no return when there is no risk, the fd, bonds etc। Gives only the inflation as interest.
Take a bit risk and invest wisely.
Now a days SIP is not good since several companies are getting affected.

Use brain and start behaving like short term investor rather long term one. There is no future guaranteed now.

Pm if want personal advice on this.

This is just a suggestion… Risk is yours.

Your investment timelines matter.

If its a year… Then investment in stocks that necessarily will be high or stable during these periods – companies that are positively affected by corona (pharma, technology) or companies that are going to be minimally affected (like fmcg, or over-the-air entertainment) – - if you can’t choose stocks, choose sectors and invest in mf in that sector.

You can try a bit in gold too – although it’s reaching all time highs.

If your timelines are 2 years or more, then the entire share market is a great investment opportunity – most stocks are like on a 50% sale! Just be sure to choose companies that will last this crisis, has good fundamentals to ensure they won’t go kaput.

What has gone down today, will come up.

Lastly, if u just want marginal higher interest in low risk fixed deposits… Try nbfcs or new banks like indusind or idfc… They have interest rates from 7-8%

Corporate FD only with well known brand like Hdfc ltd. – 7.1%, bajaj Finance 7.5%, Mahindra finance 7.5%

Or in between Tata companies come with NCD – never miss this opportunity. Last time it came in January with 8.1% coupon rate.

RBI BOND was best option but agents didn’t advertise it much because of low commission. But those who knew had put huge money that’s why they are stopping it now…

invest in a good ultra short term or low
duration fund or if someone wamts to take lower risk, invest in money market fund. liquid funds will give very dismal returns in coming days when things will improve and 9 out of 10 people saying to invest in liquid funds will then run after these funds. currently bond markets have partailly stablized, most funds have thrown garbage out in house and only going for good quality bonds. suppose there is even a default by 2-3 corporates even after so much cleaning, you may still make much better returns then a liquid fund.

the best option in my opinion is PPF acocunt which is giving tax free interest of 7.1% these days and pre-tax returns could be around 9% depending upon your tax bracket. one can also invest in kisan vikas patra, national saving scheme, sukanya samriddhi yojana (girl child), senior citizen saving scheme (7.4%) , etc.
these are safe. i am not a financial advisor. check all the details specially regarding withdrawal before investing

High interest rate always comes with higher risk. You can go with liquid funds that hold majority of state or central Govt bonds. Absl liquid, icici liquid are good. See the credit quality of funds not star rating.. Arbitrage funds is also an option but they hold some amount ins small bank fds. Rarely they face default.. Also paytm indusind fd is covered with DICGC upto 5 lakh. Stay away from directly purchasing bonds and corporate fds as you will have 0 diversification. All your money will be gone in few years..
