Bond Yields: Investor Impact & Growing Interest in NCDs

• Bond yields and prices move inversely; rising yields mean falling prices, and vice-versa.
• Rising yields make existing bonds less attractive for current holders but offer new investors higher returns.
• Falling yields increase the value of existing bonds but mean higher prices and lower returns for new investors.
• Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) are gaining traction as company-issued loans with fixed interest and maturity.

Why It Matters: Understanding bond yields is vital for your investment returns and NCD decisions.
