Suitable For Which Investors?
“Long Duration debt funds invest mainly in bonds maturing in more than seven years. They aim to earn better returns than bank fixed deposits of a similar duration. The risk of incurring a loss in these funds over the said time frame is low, but they can be fairly volatile in response to changes in interest rates.
Retail investors can avoid these funds altogether. We believe that Short Duration funds are a better alternative for the fixed-income allocation in an investor’s portfolio.
We also believe that investors with a long investment horizon of seven years or more may consider investing at least some portion of their money in equity funds to earn higher returns. They witness more severe ups and downs than debt funds but the possibility of incurring a loss is substantially reduced if you invest for seven years and more.”
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme seeks to generate income / capital appreciation through investments in debt and money market instruments.
