Bank fixed deposits are apt for investors seek a guaranteed return on their investments.

Bank fixed deposits (FDs) are secure fixed-income instruments which offer guaranteed returns. Unlike stocks and mutual funds, fixed deposits offer assured returns because they are unaffected by market volatility. This makes bank fixed deposits apt for investors who are risk-averse and seek a guaranteed return on their investments. Top lenders such as State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, among others, offer fixed deposits. Customers are required to park their funds until a pre-determined period and then they can earn attractive interest rates on the same.
