Monarch Networth's Debt Capital Market Solutions

Debt Capital Markets (DCM) are the financial markets where both government and companies raise capital by issuing debt securities to investors. These securities include bonds, notes, and other fixed-income instruments.

DCM involves raising funds by issuing debt, while ECM involves raising funds by issuing equity (stocks). DCM represents a borrowing arrangement, whereas ECM involves selling ownership stakes in a company.

The key participants in DCM include issuers (entities raising capital), underwriters (investment banks facilitating the issuance), investors (buyers of debt securities), and regulatory authorities.

Common debt instruments in DCM include government bonds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, commercial paper, and non-convertible debentures (NCDs).

Investing in government bonds can be a part of a diversified investment strategy. In India, government bonds are typically issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on behalf of the government. The best government bonds for you would depend on your investment goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. Here are some popular government bonds in India:

• Government of India Savings Bonds
• Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs)
• RBI Floating Rate Savings Bond
• GOI Savings (Taxable) Bonds
• State Development Loans (SDLs)
• Reserve Bank of India Bonds

Please note that within these categories, there may be specific issuances and series, each with its own features, interest rates, and maturity periods. It's essential to consider these details and assess your investment goals before choosing a specific bond.

These instruments include Corporate and Government Bonds, corporate debt securities, and money market instruments. The primary goal of debt-oriented mutual funds is to provide capital appreciation. They are also known as Income Funds or Bond Funds.
