Debt - The Forgotten Asset Class

Debt - The Forgotten Asset Class

What should an Investor Do?

Historically, Indian investors have always been attracted to debt as an investment category in the form of fixed deposits. However, in recent years, investors embraced equity for their investments. In 2021 and 2022, equity markets saw an unprecedented rally and entered into an overvalued zone by historical parameters. The second half of 2022 saw heightened interest in debt as central banks around the world, including the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in India, raised interest rates to reign in inflation. As a result, debt came into the limelight after a long gap thanks to the rising attractiveness of the asset class.
