There’s risk, reward and all sorts of madness in the world of fixed income. There’s more money (13 lakh crores) sitting in debt mutual funds than there is in equity mutual funds (12 lakh crores). Most of us know that equity mutual funds are risky or “subject to market risk” as the jingle goes.
But the “safer” variety, debt funds, can often have hidden risks, too much information and terms that confuse you.
