Should you invest in Bharat Bond ETF?

@ShareBoy

If we hold Bharat bond etf till maturity can we get an assured return of 7% pa at the end? @nithin @ShubhS9 @Bhuvan my BBetf investments have started to bleed.i understand that this is a price fluctuation due to rising inflation but if returns are assured at the end of maturity I believe I can still hold them .please advise

The yield at which you purchase the units is what you get if held till maturity.

Bharat Bond is a decent investment but it is quite volatile as well. Frankly Gilt funds or constant maturity funds can be a better option

Not really. All things equal (credit quality), volatility is a result of duration. A gilt fund with 10 year maturity will be as volatile as a 10 year Bharat bond ETF.

Hello all!
I hold Bharat Bond ETF (Apr’23 Maturity) in my HDFC Sec Demat Account and I have pledged it as collateral to get margin which I use for option selling.

I want to know what should I do since this Bond is maturing? I saw a news article that this fund is getting merged with the Apr’25 Bond fund. I too want to get my units converted to Apr’25 since I have pledged mine as collateral & I want to continue to use it as collateral.

Please advise how do I get it done, since I haven’t received any communication from either Edelweiss AMC or HDFC Securities.

If anyone facing similar concern, please guide me.!

Thanks

Bharat Bond ETF APRIL 2025 YTM was 8.55%. Now i.e 6hr later the YTM shows 7.61% - https://www.edelweissmf.com/types-of-mutual-funds/passive-debt-funds

However, price of the ETF is only changes +0.01% in the exchange. What expains the ~1% drop in YTM?
