Suitable For Which Investors?
Corporate Bond funds invest mainly in high-grade corporate bonds (those with a credit rating of AA+ and above). 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 scheme seeks to generate income by investing in debt /and money market securities across the yield curve and predominantly in AA+ and above rated corporate securities.
