Reason:
- You receive Interest on your FD every quarter, which adds to your income for that FY
- Bharat Bond interest gets added to the Net Asset Value, and released only at the end of the series. Hence this is Capital Appreciation. (3/n)

Pitfall of analyzing any Scheme on Point to Point returns basis is that it only tells you the opportunity which was available at the time of investment.
It does not tell you of future potential of the same scheme. One needs to see current data to understand future potential.

Why we love the idea of #BharatBond
1.Fixed Maturity – Hence are like Target Date Funds. It fills the gap of long dated Target Date Funds – Helps to plan a regular annual income stream
1.Fixed Maturity – Hence are like Target Date Funds. It fills the gap of long dated Target Date Funds – Helps to plan a regular annual income stream
2.Over a period we are likely to have the gaps in dates filled. May be could even have one maturing every 6 months. Smart investors can use it to construct their retirement plans!
3.Largely Interest rate immunized portfolios – When requirement date and maturity date are matched, the investor need not worry about MTM swings. You know what you are likely to get at maturity (intermediate cash flows may make more or less depending on their reinvestment rates)
Is this a right time to invest in #BharatBond ETF?
A frequent question in minds of many investors. When it comes to investing in debt, yields matter. It is always ideal to lock investments at higher yields.
Moot question is, at what level can we say it is high.

There are some ways to guage whether interest rates at which you are investing are good enough levels.
Let's see them one by one in context of current Nifty #BharatBond index yields.
Currently the index yield in 10yr is ~7.75% and in 3 yr ~6.83%

When we compare these yields with RBI policy rate which is at 5.15%, then 10 year yield (7.75%) is 2.6% above repo rate and 3 year yield (6.83%) is 1.68% above repo rate.
These levels are well above last 5 year average spreads.

Understanding the risks in #BHARATBond ETF and how do you mitigate them.
Any market link investment product has some risks attached to it. Some carry higher risk while some carry relatively lower risk. BB ETF falls in the latter category where risks are relatively lower.

1/n
1. Price risk - this risk comes from fluctuating bond prices due to changes in interest rates. Rising interest rates leads to fall in bond prices and falling interest rates leads to rise in bond prices. BB ETF NAV may fluctuate due to such rising or falling interest rate.
1/n

However, this fluctuation in NAV shall not affect you if you are holding BB ETF till its maturity. It will affect only if you exit your investments before maturity leading to higher or lower returns.
Also, such fluctuation reduces significantly as ETF approaches its maturity.

Understanding #BHARATBond ETF's liquidity. @EdelweissAMC
@iRadhikaGupta @itsdeepakjain

Large size of BB ETF that will be spread across large number of investors will bring natural liquidity in BB ETF as they trade on exchange.
2. Hidden secondary market liquidity - If 1st level liquidity is not enough and spreads widen, then market makers will step-in.

AMC will be appointing multiple market makers who have expertise in bond markets to ensure bid ask spreads are lower. These MM will hold ETF units and will have easy access to AMC enabling them to intervene and infuse liquidity on exchange at all times.
