Corporate Bonds are debt obligations when investors lend money to the company issuing the bond, and the company agrees to pay interest on the principal amount. In most cases, the company also returns the principal when the bond matures. Bonds do not grant ownership rights like stocks. They are a form of debt investment offering fixed income to investors.

Individual loans and debt are securitised to create Securitised Debt Instruments. Investors who invest in these securities can receive income from the underlying assets. SDIs are asset-backed securities. Banks and financial institutions securitise debt to free up capital and lower interest rates. 

Choosing a bond to invest in, from hundreds of options can be challenging, especially for retail investors. Thus, there emerged a need for an objective financial tool like Basket by Grip Invest, that provides a theme-based pool of high-yield investments. For the cautious newcomer, Basket by Grip Invest offers a stress-free entry point. For the seasoned investor, the option maximises diversification with minimal effort.

Enabling investors to pick a theme-based pre-designed portfolio, with the assurance of diversification, and the convenience of payment is what makes this industry-first feature a standout. With Basket, Grip Invest aims to progress its founding value of democratizing high-yield investing, by offering a convenient and transparent path to building a robust high-yield investment portfolio, for all,” said Nikhil Aggarwal, Founder and CEO, Grip Invest.
