In India, there are many financial products and services to meet investors’ needs. Traditional financial institutions have always been important, but now, with the emergence of FinTech, InsurTech and WealthTech, accessing financial services has changed. However, one thing stays the same: the vital role of financial products distributors. They are like the backbone of our financial system. Whether it’s the trusted ‘LIC agent uncle or aunt’ offering guidance to families or seasoned Mutual Fund Distributors (MFDs) assisting Indian retail investors with their investments, distributors are the unsung heroes keeping financial transactions running. Their job goes beyond just helping – they educate, advise and support clients, contributing to building the nation through financial knowledge and empowerment.

Bonds serve as crucial instruments for both corporates and governments to raise capital, representing the backbone of the fixed income asset class, surpassing the traditional favorite, Fixed Deposits (FDs). They seamlessly align with the Indian ethos of prioritizing savings while offering enticing risk-return metric, boasting higher returns than FDs with significantly lower risk than equities. Moreover, integrating bonds into investment portfolios facilitates diversification, providing stability amid the volatile swings of other asset classes. By assisting clients in incorporating bonds into their portfolios, financial advisors can guide them towards optimal asset allocation, harnessing the stable and predictable income aspect while preserving wealth.
As of December 31, 2023, the Indian bond market stands at a substantial $2.53 trillion (Source: CCIL and SEBI). According to a CRISIL report, by March 2025, the volume of corporate bonds could potentially double, reaching an estimated ₹65-70 lakh crore. With an entry threshold as low as Rs 10,000, this burgeoning market underscores immense growth potential. Despite this, only a meager 1-2% of retail investors are currently aware of bond investing, indicating a vast landscape of untapped opportunities. Given the expansive market size and the regulated nature of bonds, which is still in its nascent stage, seizing this opportunity with a well-devised strategy could lead to significant fortunes in this field.
