Are you ready to master the art of balancing risk and return in your investments? In the investment landscape, understanding the relationship between risk and return is crucial. After all, high returns are often promised, but not always delivered. That is where you need to factor in the risk aspect as well, before jumping into any lucrative 'high-return' investment deal. Always remember, high returns mean high risk. So make sure to review credit ratings and conduct your own research. Now if you are wondering how to measure risk effectively? Here's a quick checklist to assess risk in fixed-income products: • Check the platform's credibility and management. • Evaluate the company's debt profile and cash flows. • Verify the security structure for the debt. • Look at co-investors in the deal. Here's a detailed blog to help you understand how to balance risk and returns in alternative investments. https://lnkd.in/gGD-VfYK Also, do share your thoughts on what strategies do you use to balance risk and return in your investments!

India's Finance Ministry had in September 2024 announced that the central government is planning to raise Rs 20,000 crores by introducing sovereign 'Green Bonds' in the October-March period of current financial year 2024-2025. But what exactly are green bonds? Don't worry, we've simplified this term to help you understand it better. #greenbonds #bond #financeministry #sovereigngoldbonds #alternativeinvestments

Do you wish to invest in something that acts a mid-way between the low risk but low return option of FDs and the high risk and high return option of equities? If yes, then you can explore the alternative investments space. Its been more than a decade since the journey of alternative investments began in India. In the year 2012, market regulator SEBI had introduced Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) in India, paving the way for a diverse range of investment opportunities that can help investors explore options beyond just the traditional FDs and stocks. While AIFs may seem to be out of reach for many retail investors due to high entry costs, technology and favourable regulations have opened up new avenues, through platforms like OBPPs, right? From debt-based alternatives like SDIs (Securitized Debt Instruments) to equity-based options and even crypto, there's something in alternative investments for every risk appetite. But why are Indians increasingly turning to these alternatives? The answer simply lies in diversification. With traditional investments often failing to beat inflation, alternative assets provide a cushion and potential for higher returns. As the market evolves, the potential for growth in alternative assets seems to be immense, especially in the fixed-income space. So if you are considering adding alternative assets to your portfolio, check out this detailed blog of ours. We have simplified the concept of alternative investments, and why this asset class is needed.
