A rating measures default probability, not price stability - always match the rating to your own risk appetite.
What yield do SOV bonds offer right now?
As of Sept 2026, the 5 listed SOV-rated bonds on RightBonds yield between 5.4% and 7% (average 6%), against roughly 6-7% on a comparable bank FD.
How is a SOV bond different from a fixed deposit?
An FD carries the bank's credit and fixed rates; a SOV bond carries the issuer's credit risk and trades at market prices, which is why it can yield more. Bonds are also not covered by DICGC deposit insurance.
