Suitable For Which Investors?
“Banking and PSU funds invest mainly in bonds issued by banks, public sector undertakings (PSUs) and public financial institutions. They are suitable for a short investment horizon of two to three years, or for the fixed-income allocation in your longer-term portfolio. You can expect to earn higher returns than what a bank fixed deposit can fetch.
The risk of incurring a loss in these funds is low, but they do not guarantee returns or safety of capital like a bank deposit.
Remember, their returns may not be substantially higher than inflation. They are meant to deliver steady, but low to moderate returns and are not suitable to build wealth in the long run.”
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The fund seeks to provide regular income through a portfolio of debt and money market instruments consisting predominantly of securities issued by entities such as Banks and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).
