How to tweak your FD ladder in the current situation
Making an FD ladder is an alternative since it allows you to split a large deposit into multiple parts and book each part after a period of time to get the average return and periodic liquidity when interest rates are volatile. It is, however, critical to select the appropriate deposit tenure and frequency. In a rising rate environment, maintaining the tenure and gap between deposits short is critical to ensuring that the deposit reaps the benefits of rising rates at maturity. Keeping the duration and difference between deposits short in a rising rate scenario is critical to ensuring that the deposit reaps the benefits of higher rates at maturity. To complete a stable ladder, progressively increase these.
