\ud83d\udcdd Quick Summary:<\/div>\n

<\/span>Higher yield on paper doesn’t always mean higher returns in hand. This piece walks through how currency depreciation affects dollar bonds vs. rupee bonds comparisons for Indian investors, with current data on yields, exchange rates, and where masala bonds fit in.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

With the rupee dipping below \u20b995 to the dollar, it’s only natural to worry about the currency your fixed income is locked in. Rupee bonds, whether they are government securities, corporate NCDs, or anything else you have purchased through your OBPP, are still quoting higher yields than dollar bonds. However, the reality sets in when you factor in the conversion of those returns to rupees. This piece lays out where things actually stand right now, including where masala bonds fit into this picture, so you can do the math for your own portfolio rather than going on headline yield alone.<\/p>
