No Exception From Market Risks: What Should be the Ideal Fixed Income Asset in Your Portfolio?

Listen to this article

You have heard it a thousand times.

“Mutual funds are subject to market risks.”

With a brief introduction to mutual funds, learning about equity mutual funds causes investors to have a wrong impression.

“Debt mutual funds are safe.”

But it is not anyone’s fault. It is a relativity trap, often called anchoring bias.

Then, what is the best fixed-income asset?

We asked an industry insider the same question. He broke down the myths into simple raw facts.
