Exploring the Different Types of Bonds: The New Investor’s Roadmap

1) Government Bonds (G-Secs & T-Bills)

With Aspero, you can invest with full fee transparency and get plain-English explainers on how sovereign bonds fit your plan.

2) Company Debt for Better Income

3) Municipal (Local Body) Bonds

{Munis are issued by local bodies to fund roads, water, and public assets and may offer tax advantages in specific cases. Aspero highlights available issues and explains how credit support, guarantees, and project cash flows influence muni risk and return.

4) Zero-Coupon (Discounted) Bonds

5) Convertible Bonds

{Convertibles start as interest-paying bonds but can turn into shares under set conditions, blending downside cushion with equity participation. Aspero explains how parity and premium affect returns so you can weigh hybrid risks.

6) Pick Your Interest-Rate Exposure

{Fixed-rate bonds provide predictable income, while floating-rate bonds reset payouts to benchmarks like repo/MCLR, adding variability when benchmarks move. Aspero’s comparisons help you choose based on your rate view.

7) Gold Exposure, Bond Convenience
