Fixed Deposits
A Fixed Deposit is a financial instrument supplied by banks which provide investors a higher
rate of interest than a normal savings Account, until a given maturity date. It may not require
the creation of a different account. Fixed Deposits give guarantee returns whereas normal
funds don’t. FD’s have this unique advantage over mutual funds. FD’s are one of the safest
financial products all around the world. We always have this belief that the banks would not
fall. We have hardly come across many defaults in this regard. Most of the banks in Sri Lanka
offer Fixed Deposit accounts with various interest rates depending on the period or the
tenure of the deposit and other factors. The tenure offered with Fixed Deposits ranging from
one weak to ten years, whereas the interest rate offered can be as 16% per anum.
