Is investing in bonds considered safe?

[rubesh]

Bond investing is a reasonably safe kind of investment when compared to stock investing. Bonds are regarded less hazardous since they are debt instruments in which the issuer (usually a business or government) is required to pay interest and refund the principal amount at maturity. However, keep in mind that bond prices can fluctuate and that changes in financial conditions might influence the issuer's capacity to make interest and principal payments. So, while bonds are typically thought to be a safer investment than stocks, there is still some risk involved. It is suggested that you seek the advice of a financial advisor to understand the specific risks connected with your bond investments and to assess if they correspond with your overall financial goals and risk tolerance.

I don't think it is safe to invest in bonds. The very reason for this stance is that inflation can just reduce and sometimes even completely eliminate the value of your returns.

Investing in bonds is less risky compared to other investments like stocks, ETFs, or even Mutual Funds because you get guaranteed returns.
