A Fixed Deposit (FD) is a financial instrument where an member gives a certain sum of money to our society and the entity pays interest for the duration of the deposit. The rate of interest paid varies depending on the amount and tenure. Investor’s, especially conservative investors, prefer to open fixed deposits as it is a safe investment option and it can be opened easily and quickly. The account can be opened by individually or jointly.
Benefits of Fixed Deposits (FD)
The reasons why fixed deposits are an ideal form of investment are as follows:
- Guaranteed Returns: Unlike investment in the stock market or commodity market, fixed deposits are not a risky investment as they do not depend on fluctuating market rates. Investors can rest assured that his investments are safe and he will be getting back a guaranteed amount at the end of the tenure.
- Easily withdrawable: The amount that is invested in fixed deposit can be withdrawn at any time for a small penalty. The investor may have a financial emergency to meet financial needs during marriage, sickness or when his business is in loss. The penalty is less than that of selling stocks or real estate as the asset cannot be sold easily because of its high value and if you are in a distressed situation, you will sell it for a much lower rate. Whereas, fixed deposits can be withdrawn at any time and all you lose is a certain interest income.
- Flexible in nature: Fixed deposits can be taken for tenure of 1 year, 5 year or 9 years as based on your needs and for whatever amount that you can invest. Fixed deposits can be invested for tenure of your choice. If you have planned for a big event in 5 years, then you can have a fixed deposit kept for 5 years to meet your financial requirement in 5 years. You can have various fixed deposit accounts to save for different goals.
