This tool is designed to enhance the fixed-income investment landscape by offering stock-market-like asset baskets tailored for fixed-income options.
A New Era of Fixed-Income Investments
Basket by Grip Invest revolutionizes the investment process by categorizing SDIs and bonds into various investment themes. This thematic approach allows investors to enjoy a hassle-free and streamlined investment experience. The curated selection of bonds and SDIs within these baskets ensures diversification and high returns, making it an attractive option for retail investors on the platform.
Understanding Bonds and SDIs
Corporate bonds are essentially debt obligations where investors lend money to the issuing company, which in turn agrees to pay interest on the principal amount and return the principal upon maturity. Unlike stocks, bonds do not grant ownership rights but offer a fixed income to investors.
Securitised Debt Instruments (SDIs) are created when individual loans and debts are bundled together. These asset-backed securities provide investors with income from the underlying assets. Banks and financial institutions often securitize debt to free up capital and reduce interest rates.
Meeting Investor Needs
Choosing the right bond from numerous options can be daunting, especially for retail investors. Basket by Grip Invest addresses this challenge by offering a theme-based pool of high-yield investments. It provides a stress-free entry point for cautious newcomers and maximizes diversification for seasoned investors with minimal effort.
Diverse Investment Options
The initial set of Baskets launched on Grip Invest includes:
High Return Basket
High Rated Basket
Gold Shield Basket
Digi Loan Basket
Ultra Short Tenure Basket
These options allow investors to select baskets that align best with their individual investment goals.
