Should a retiree

Anil has recently retired from a
government job and will be receiving a
monthly pension of about `40,000, which
would be sufficient for his expenses.
Besides, he has a corpus of about `35
lakh, which he wants to invest to generate
some income occasionally, either annually
or every six months, to meet unaccounted
expenses. At the same time, he would
want to keep this money safe so that he
can use it during the later years of his
retirement or an emergency.
Anil is considering gilt funds, corporate
bonds and company deposits to invest his
retirement corpus. He is lured by the fact
that the current returns of gilt funds are
even more than those of equity funds.
Besides, these funds are safe as they
invest in government bonds. Given that the
interest rates of FDs are quite low, he is
planning to invest this corpus in gilt funds
and is seeking our opinion.
