The company said its newly launched Bond Provider Platform will allow investors to invest in government securities, PSU bonds and corporate bonds through a dedicated digital interface.
The move comes as the domestic bond market expands and investors increasingly seek predictable returns and capital preservation alongside equity investments.India’s bond market has grown to nearly USD 3 trillion, making it the third-largest in Asia after Japan and China, and equivalent to roughly 100-110 per cent of India’s GDP, a release said.”With Indian households increasingly allocating savings to financial assets and the inclusion of Indian government bonds in global indices expected to bring strong foreign inflows, the opportunity in fixed income is becoming more compelling,” said Ajay Menon, managing director and chief executive officer of wealth management at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
The new bond platform comes at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions and global market uncertainty that have increased volatility in equity markets, prompting investors, particularly high-net-worth individuals, to increase allocations to fixed income, the company said.Ashish Malaviya, head of distribution at Motilal Oswal Wealth Management, said that amid rising equity market volatility driven by global developments, investors, particularly HNIs, are increasingly seeking capital protection, predictable income, and portfolio stability.
