All fixed income investments involve some form of risk that must be borne by the investor. Below is a general overview of
the main areas of risk that should be considered before investing in any fixed income security.
Interest Rate Risk
The risk that the market value of securities might rise or fall, primarily due to changes in prevailing interest rates. All fixed
income securities are susceptible to fluctuations in interest rates; if interest rates rise, bond prices will fall and vice versa.
Credit Risk
The risk that the issuer might be unable to pay interest and/or principal on a timely basis. Widely recognized rating
agencies, such as Moody's, Standard & Poor’s, CRISIL, Fitch offer their assessment of an issuer’s creditworthiness.
Government securities are considered the “safest” investment as they are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the Indian
Government. On the other end of the scale, pass through certificates, high yield corporate bonds are considered have the
greatest credit risk.
Reinvestment Risk
The risk that the income stream from the investment may be reinvested at a lower interest rate. This risk is especially
evident during periods of falling interest rates where coupon payments are reinvested at a lower rate than the current
instrument.
By holding a diversified portfolio, the above risks may be managed and minimized.
While a secondary market exists for most fixed income securities, they may not be liquid for smaller lots and if sold prior to
maturity, the price received may be more or less than the amount of the original investment.
