Suitable For Which Investors?
“Money Market debt funds invest in bonds with a maturity of up to one year. They aim to earn slightly better returns than what you can get from a bank account or a short duration fixed deposit. The risk of incurring a loss in these funds over the said timeframe is low but they do not guarantee returns or safety of capital.
Such funds are usually more suited to institutional investors. Retail investors can avoid these funds altogether. Here’s why. Debt funds are very finely classified depending upon the maturity of the bonds they invest in. For instance, there’s a different category of funds that invests in bonds of up to three months maturity, from the one that invests in bonds maturing in three to six months, and so on. We believe that such a nuanced classification adds little value to retail investors. They can avoid this complexity and simply invest the money they don’t need for up to a year in a Liquid fund.
If you do decide to invest in them, remember that these funds usually deliver low returns which are only marginally higher than your bank account. They are not suitable if your aim is to build wealth in the long run.”
