Question 1

What are fixed income bonds?

Accepted Answer

Fixed income bonds are debt instruments. You lend money to an issuer, who pays you set interest and returns your principal on the maturity date. Because the payments are fixed in advance, they’re called fixed income.

Question 2

Are fixed income bonds safe for beginners?

Accepted Answer

They’re usually steadier than shares, but safety depends on the issuer. Go for a high rating and, where possible, asset backing. No bond is completely risk-free.

Question 3

What are secured bonds?

Accepted Answer

Secured bonds are backed by specific assets of the issuer. If the issuer defaults, bondholders can claim those assets. That makes them safer than unsecured bonds, though you should still check the asset cover.

Question 4

How do I choose the best bonds to buy?

Accepted Answer

Begin with your goal and time horizon. Then compare rating, security and yield to maturity across a few options. Pick the one that fits your needs at a risk level you can live with.

Question 5

Can I lose money in fixed income bonds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can lose money if the issuer defaults, or if you sell before maturity after interest rates have risen. Holding a well-rated bond to maturity lowers both risks considerably.

Question 6

Is the interest from fixed income bonds taxable?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Interest is taxed at your income tax slab rate. Check the rules for the specific bond and confirm with a tax professional.
