Frequently Asked Questions
What are debt ETFs and how do they work?
Debt ETFs are exchange-traded funds that invest in fixed income instruments like government bonds, corporate bonds, or treasury bills. They trade on the stock exchange just like shares, so you can buy and sell them during market hours. Unlike debt mutual funds, debt ETFs have real-time pricing and no exit load. They offer a way to get fixed income exposure with the liquidity and transparency of stock market trading.
Are debt ETFs safer than equity ETFs?
Generally, yes. Debt ETFs invest in bonds which have more predictable returns than stocks. Government bond and gilt ETFs carry very low credit risk since they are backed by the government. However, debt ETFs are still subject to interest rate risk — when rates rise, bond prices fall, and NAVs can drop temporarily. Corporate bond ETFs carry additional credit risk depending on the quality of bonds held.
