Retail investor: here is why bonds could be your next best bet
Mint New Delhi
|October 02, 2025
Bonds could really be the missing piece in a retail investor's portfolio.
Even as equities gain prominence, bonds are yet to secure a permanent place in most portfolios for Indian retail investors. Yet, with safe instruments like fixed deposits barely keeping pace with inflation and equities prone to volatility, bonds offer a middle ground.
“This is the missing piece from a retail investor's perspective. This asset class (bonds) is gaining prominence and may find a place in everybody's portfolio in the next 5 years,” said Vineet Agrawal, co-founder of Jiraaf, a Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi)-regulated online bond platform, at the Mint Money Festival 2025 held in Bengaluru.

A threadfin stew, and the idea of home
Cynics would say I am rootless. I'd say I am rooted in many places. I've lived in Bengaluru for 26 years, Delhi for 17. Bengaluru is the place I consider home, I speak Kannada passably, and I am deeply attached to the people and the city. Yet, I can't say I truly belong. I never really took to Delhi and its culture, although I speak Hindi decently. Mumbai is always exciting and feels like home for about a week, after which I'd rather go home. My Marathi is good enough to fool the locals for a while, and I like hearing my mother's tales of her life there—it gives me some feeling of closeness.
