Have there been instances where bonds also fell along with equity, other than 4 years ago? Doesn’t equity market fall also suggest a declining economic activity, and as such, sales, profits of listed entities will go down, and many debt funds hold paper of listed companies, listed groups, so is there a possibility of entire bond market going down? I am not particularly concerned about a single bond default, or a few, but can the bond market too go down with equity, if indeed there is a big fall?
FDs in banks, in PSBs to be precise, are safe compared to debt funds, but as debt funds score more over FDs, I also choose debt funds, but as I do not know to whom my FD money is lent, I am not and cannot be concerned about NPAs, but with debt funds, I know what is done with my investment, what paper is in the PF.
And also, obviously, I have no control over the returns of debt funds, as I don’t manage them unlike my stocks.
So, the question.
