Bonds are usually low-risk, similar to Fixed Deposits. But it's good to know about the risks involved:

• Default Risk: This happens when the bond issuer can't repay the principal or interest. It could mean losses for us as investors.
• Liquidity Risk: Selling bonds before maturity might be tough if no buyers are there. We might have to sell at a discount, leading to potential losses.
• Interest-Rate Risk: Bond prices can change with interest rates. If rates go up, the bond value may decrease, and we might face losses if sold early. On the flip side, falling rates can mean higher bond prices and potential gains if sold at a premium to the purchase price.
