Know Your Risk
Bharat Bond ETF April 2023 and April 2030 series have returned 5.39 per cent and 6.72 per cent, respectively, till date. It invests only in AAA-rated PSUs
It has a target maturity structure that ensures predictability of returns
If you hold it for three or more years, you pay only 20 per cent tax, and that too post indexation
Should be held till maturity, but in an emergency, you can sell in the secondary market
Invest some amount in each series to reduce interest rate risk
Investors are jittery about corporate bonds and debt mutual funds due to huge corporate defaults over the last couple of years. That’s understandable.
But what if these risks can be minimised by investing in, say, bonds issued by government companies? Banking and PSU debt funds do that to a large extent but still carry credit risk as they also invest in papers lower than AAA-rated. Some may even have exposure to equities-like risky AT1 bonds such as the ones issued by YES Bank where investors lost all their money.
However, there is one investment that can help you take exposure to a basket of AAA-rated PSUs. Bharat Bond ETF, which tracks the Nifty Bharat Bond Target Maturity Indices, is a low-cost passive debt investment, India’s first corporate bond exchange-traded fund (ETF), for up to 20-odd PSUs. The investment can start from as less as ₹1,000.
