What Makes Grip Invest Different? 

1. Regulations First, Innovation Follows

Grip Invest places compliance and regulations at the forefront. We view regulations not as obstacles but as guides to innovate something better. Grip Invest is a SEBI-regulated OBPP (online bond platform provider) for fixed-income investing. These regulations were introduced by SEBI in 2022 to provide retail investors access to fixed-income options like bonds and securitised debt instruments (SDIs). 

Hence, all the investment products offered by Grip Invest are SEBI-regulated, listed and credit-rated as investment grade. 

2. Invest In Bonds And SDI Directly Via Stock Exchange

On October 5, 2023, Grip Invest became the first OBPP to integrate with NSE to provide investments in fixed-income securities via SEBI’s RFQ system². This enables users to buy corporate bonds and SDIs directly through the exchange, offering the same security and convenience as buying stocks.

• Better Credibility And Transparency: Every investment made on Grip Invest is directly facilitated on the stock exchange. 
• More Transaction Security: Investors transfer funds directly to the exchange via a payment gateway offering greater security
• Less Settlement Time: The time taken to reflect purchased securities in your demat account is just one day. 
• More Payment Options: Choose from 3 modes of payment to purchase securities: UPI, Net Banking, and NEFT/RTGS.

3. Making Investing Affordable And Accessible For All 

Your financial future should not require a heavy wallet. It should be accessible to everyone. 

Grip Invest has a mission to democratise wealth creation via SEBI-regulated investments. Investments at Grip start from just INR 1,000 and go up to INR 2,00,000. Investment options once exclusive to a select few High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs) or institutional investors are now accessible to the broader mass of investors. 

4. Fixed Income Investing Made Easy Via User-Friendly Platform

Investing should not feel like a puzzle. Grip Invest is committed to making alternative investing simple and seamless by continuously improving the user experience. But how are they doing it? Through its easy-to-navigate, tech-enabled, user-friendly investment platform. 

Grip Invest aims to make the platform as transparent as possible to help everyone make an informed decision. 

One Platform, Five New-Age Fixed-Income Products

Corporate bonds and securitised debt instruments or SDIs (LoanX, BondX, InvoiceX, and LeaseX) take centre stage at Grip Invest. Each offering has its pros and cons. Consider it a one-stop shop for new-age alternative fixed-income investments. 

Most platforms are limited to bonds, while Grip Invest tries to bring products across different minimum investments, sectors, ratings, tenures, ideas, etc. The primary reason for this is to encourage investment diversification. 

Conclusion 

With such USPs and recent funding, Grip Invest looks forward to revolutionising the high-yielding fixed-income space. In future, they plan to keep diversifying their product portfolio and strengthen their tech platform for enhanced user experience.
