What risks am I exposed to when investing in a single bond series?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investing in a single bond exposes you to credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. If the issuer defaults or market rates change, your entire investment may lose value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_are_long-term_bonds_impacted_by_interest_rate_changes\"><\/span><strong>2. How are long-term bonds impacted by interest rate changes?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, long-term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. When interest rates increase, the market value of existing long-term bonds could fall. In contrast, when interest rates fall, their value may increase.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Should_I_invest_in_bond_mutual_funds_in_2026\"><\/span><strong>3.

Is there any risk with G-Secs?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G-Secs have low credit risk because they carry a sovereign guarantee and are backed by the Government of India. However, they are exposed to interest rate risk. If rates increase, the market value of G-Secs may fall (particularly for long-term bond series).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This information is for general information purposes only.
