Hi,
I dunno if its blasphemous to talk about debt on TED
but i have a friend who wants to invest some idle money in a debt
instrument.Any pointers to which instruments/MF plans and good?
Also does any one know what is the prevailng rate for an RBI relief bond?And how good is it?
PS: Safety of capital is of paramount importance.
Also i have a doubt which may be silly.If a bond is held to maturity is
our initial capital guaranteed or are there any circumstances where we
get less that what we put up?
------------- Take your chances and keep them in a box until a quieter time.

Investment is a very complex field to understand for most of us! Only
certain trained individuals do understand what investment exactly is.
Well, investment means to devote certain resources at a particular
place that ensures future income for the investor.
