2) Corporate Bonds

3) Funding Cities, Earning Coupons

{Munis are issued by local bodies to fund roads, water, and public assets and may provide favorable post-tax outcomes. Aspero highlights available issues and explains how credit support, guarantees, and project cash flows influence muni risk and return.

{Zero-coupon bonds pay no periodic interest; instead, you lock in a lump-sum gain at maturity. They can suit long-term goals and tax planning. Aspero breaks down effective yields so you can match horizons to needs.

5) Convertible Bonds

{Convertibles start as coupon instruments but can convert into equity under set conditions, blending downside cushion with equity participation. Aspero explains conversion terms, triggers, and valuation so you can decide if equity optionality fits your view.

6) Fixed vs Floating Coupons

{Fixed-rate bonds lock a steady coupon for the term, while floating-rate Government Bonds bonds adjust coupons with market rates, reducing duration risk when rates rise. Aspero’s comparisons help you blend both to balance stability and flexibility.

7) Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs)
