What are G secs and why invest in them?
- G-secs are securities issued by the RBI on behalf of the Government of India. They serve as an acknowledgement of money borrowed by the Government, with coupon payments and repayment guaranteed by the central government, giving them a sovereign rating.
- Being sovereign-rated debt instruments, G-secs carry negligible credit risk.
- Increased global demand coupled with a decreased supply of G-secs can create a demand-supply imbalance. This situation presents an opportunity for capital gains from G-sec investments.
