Strengths vs Zerodha bonds

  • Broader product range: Including lower-rated and perpetual.
  • More filter options: By sector, issuer, etc.
  • Specific high-yield exposure: Not all on Zerodha.

Risks

  • Credit risk: Lower-rated bonds default-risk material.
  • Liquidity: Secondary market thin.
  • Perpetual bond complexity: AT1 bonds had a write-down episode (Yes Bank); understand call dates, write-down triggers.

For complex bond portfolios, consult a SEBI-registered Investment Adviser.
