Guaranteed Returns are those returns that a company or fund house will compulsorily pay to its investors. This term should not be confused with “Assured Returns”. Though assured returns are also promised in nature, it may still not be paid out if the company runs into financial troubles. On the other hand, in case of guaranteed returns there is no scope for non-payout.

Some examples of guaranteed returns include Public Provident Fund, Post Office MIS, Bank Fixed Deposits, etc.for the tenure of investments.
