NSE, BSE issue advisory to bond investors. Here are 10 things to know
Stock exchanges BSE and NSE on Friday issued an advisory to investors dealing with Online Bond Platform Providers (OBPPs) to explain to them the underlying features of bonds, risks and costs associated with such investments, in order to help them make informed decisions. In a joint press release issued today, the exchanges said that it is crucial to understand the concepts of the bond markets including the factors affecting the yield of the bonds. The release was issued amid a growing popularity of online bond platforms and easier access to investors to various fixed-income instruments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's Why This 1 Day Garage Floor Coating Is Sweeping Texas Garage Flooring USA Learn More Undo 10 things to know: 1) Yield to Maturity (YTM): One of the most important concepts to understand is the YTM, which represents the total annualized return an investor can expect if the bond is held until its maturity. YTM takes into account the bond's current market price, its periodic coupon payments and the time remaining until maturity. Bonds Corner Powered By The case for fixed-income investments: What Gen-Z investors should know Fixed-income investments offer Gen-Z investors stability and predictable returns, complementing a diversified portfolio. Experts advise understanding risk, utilizing mutual funds, and timing investments based on interest rate cycles. With increased accessibility through platforms like Bond Central, young investors can leverage fixed income for financial growth, balancing risk with disciplined investing through SIPs to achieve long-term security.

It can fluctuate based on factors such as changes in market interest rates, liquidity conditions, time to maturity, and the creditworthiness of the issuer. Live Events 3) If the bond is sold before maturity, the actual return may differ significantly from the indicated YTM. 4) Generally, when a bond's price is below its face value, its YTM is higher than its coupon rate, and vice versa. 5) The coupon rate of a bond refers to the fixed annual interest paid by the issuer, calculated as a percentage of the bond's face value. This provides regular income to investors, usually on a semi-annual or annual basis. 6) Risks: The payments by issuers are not risk-free. They are dependent on the financial health and credit reliability of the issuer. Any delay or default in payments can adversely affect investor returns. 7) Relationship between bond prices and yields: Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions. When interest rates in the market rise, bond prices fall, leading to higher yields, and when interest rates fall, bond prices increase, lowering the yield. This inverse relationship is fundamental to assessing interest rate risk and understanding potential price movements in the secondary market. 8) Impact of brokerage: Brokerage reversal or zero brokerage can have a direct impact on the YTM by lowering the overall cost of investment, thereby slightly enhancing the effective return. The final return should always be assessed after considering all associated costs, fees, and applicable taxes. 9) Before investing through any online bond platform, investors must take into account several important factors such as checking the bond's credit rating, the issuer's track record in timely repayments, the liquidity of the instrument, settlement timelines, and the tax implications of the investment. 10) It is crucial to verify that the platform is a SEBI-registered Online Bond Platform Provider (OBPP). Investors should carefully read platform disclaimers, understand the terms and conditions, and ensure that transactions are carried out through properly regulated and secure systems.
