Taher Badshah, Chief Investment Officer, Invesco Mutual Fund, said with Central banks steering towards the end of the rate hike cycle, the Indian fixed-income market has come to an inflection point with risk-reward turning favourable for investors. The sharp increase in interest rates over the past one year now warrants increased allocation towards fixed income as an asset class that has the potential of generating meaningful income.
Vikas Garg, Head of Fixed Income, Invesco Mutual Fund, said the market offers attractive carry opportunities as interest rates are approaching their peak and future rate actions are expected to be more calibrated and data dependent.
Global factors could influence domestic policy actions, leading to some market volatility in the short term. Still, by remaining invested for the entire tenure, investors can potentially realise the benefits of attractive carry opportunities without getting impacted by interest rate volatility and achieve their financial objectives.
