CORPORATE FD
A Corporate FD is like putting your money in a savings account with a company instead of a bank, with the promise of getting it back with interest after a fixed period.
Key Features:
Deposit Agreement
When you invest in a Corporate FD, you're essentially lending money
to a company for a fixed period, just like with a bank FD.
Interest Rate
The company pays you a fixed rate of interest on your deposit,
similar to how a bank pays interest on your savings. This interest
rate is determined by the company and is usually fixed for the
entire tenure of the deposit.
Fixed Tenure
Like bank FDs, Corporate FDs also have a fixed tenure, ranging from
a few months to several years. You agree to keep your money with the
company for this period.
Safety and Risk
Corporate FDs typically offer higher interest rates compared to bank
FDs, but they also come with higher risk.
Interest Payment
The company may choose to pay interest periodically (monthly,
quarterly, annually) or at maturity, depending on the terms of the
FD.
