The Hero: Debt Products

Report card: How your investments fared in 2008

The Hero: Debt Products: Clearly the winner was the good old fixed deposit, and the debt class in general.

Here is what you would have made, had you been put in any of these debt instruments:

Bank deposit: 8.75 per cent Public Provident Fund: 8 per cent

Debt mutual fund (floating rate funds): 8.8 per cent

So Rs 1 lakh invested would have made you richer by Rs 8,000 at least. How's that compared to a loss of Rs 55,000! (Pic: Getty Images)
