Edelweiss' Radhika Gupta explains why fixed income MFs belong in your portfolio

In the investment world, equities often steal the spotlight with their potential for spectacular returns. RADHIKA GUPTA’S TAKE ON FIXED INCOME MFs Radhika Gupta, a leading industry expert, and MD & CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund emphasises that while equity returns have been impressive, investors must not ignore the stability fixed-income MFs provide. Some of them are enumerated below: WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST IN FIXED-INCOME MUTUAL FUNDS Liquidity and flexibility: Unlike fixed deposits, where withdrawing early can lead to penalties and lower returns, fixed-income MFs allow for partial withdrawals without penalties. Higher return potential: In a falling interest rate environment, fixed-income MFs can benefit from bond price movements, offering the potential for higher returns compared to traditional FDs. While equity MFs have surged in popularity, fixed-income MFs provide a stable, flexible, and tax-efficient investment option, says Radhika Gupta.
