Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase Agreements (TB Repos , CP Repos )

Repos are short-term money market instruments that involve the sale of government securities for cash, with an agreement to repurchase the same or similar securities at a fixed price on a future date. The difference between the sale and repurchase price represents the interest income earned. Repos function much like a collateralized loan, using government securities as the underlying asset.

Commercial Papers

Commercial papers are unsecured, short-term debt instruments issued by creditworthy private sector companies to raise working capital. These are typically issued in large denominations and may carry bank guarantees to assure repayment. Commercial papers are distributed through banks and financial intermediaries, offering a viable investment option with attractive short-term returns.
