Investors often choose bonds that pay interest at monthly intervals to meet regular cash flow needs or to minimize the impact of defaults. However, there are downsides to this strategy. Regular payouts may lead to spending leaks and suboptimal returns if the money isn't invested wisely. Additionally, reinvestment risk and taxes can affect overall returns. To maximize compounding and reduce tax liabilities, investors may consider structured approaches like investing in debt mutual funds or using systematic withdrawal plans from MFs.

The bond markets have already rallied with the rate cut expectation, leading to higher returns for long-duration bond funds, dynamic bond funds, and gilt funds. Fund managers have increased the durations of their portfolios, positioning themselves for further gains when the rate-cut cycle begins. While longer-duration bonds offer potential returns in a falling interest rate environment, the 1-3 year corporate bond segment may become attractive following the initial rate cut.
