Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 10: Fixed-return investments have remained a popular choice among Indian investors for several years. Their importance has become even more evident in the last two quarters of FY 2024-25, as the stock market continues to experience a prolonged sell-off that began in October 2024. While the Securities and Exchange Board of India continues to tighten derivative trading regulations after the significant market corrections in September 2024, the steep decline over the past 5 months has positioned Indian equities among the worst-performing markets globally. In such uncertain times, fixed-income investments provide investors with a stable alternative, allowing them to lock in attractive yields. Where Should Investors Focus As of March 2025, ongoing volatility still affects the returns from stocks, mutual funds and other equity-linked investments. In such uncertain times, diversifying one's portfolio can help mitigate stock market losses. A well-planned mix of mutual funds, fixed deposits, medium to long duration government and corporate bonds (for instance, AA+ rated bonds) can ensure a risk-return balance. The RBI's repo rate cut in February triggered a rise in bond prices for tenures of 5 to 10 years. Meanwhile, AAA-rated corporate bonds currently offer yields between 7.5% and 8.5%, while SDLs provide 30-50 basis points higher returns than G-Secs. Amid these options, fixed deposits remain a top choice for investors. And when it comes to FDs, Stable Money stands out. As India's first digital fixed-return investment platform, Stable Money continues to help investors find high-interest fixed deposits, even as banks lower FD rates following the 25 bps repo rate cut in February 2025. "We ensure that every rupee works as hard as you do", said Saurabh Jain, co-founder of Stable Money. He further added, "Fixed deposits significantly offer stability with lower risks compared to equities and mutual funds which pose higher risks." In addition to fixed deposits, investors can also explore recurring deposits, as their next step to diversify their portfolios with secure and rewarding investment options. Stable Money has emerged as a trusted platform for fixed-income investments. The company initially focused on fixed deposits and expanded its offerings by introducing bonds after securing its Online Bond Platform Provider (OBPP) licence from the BSE in February 2024.
