Suitable For Which Investors?
“Short Duration debt funds invest mainly in bonds maturing in a period of one to three years. They are suitable for investment horizons of one 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. There have been instances when short duration funds have incurred losses.
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 and capital appreciation through an actively managed diversified portfolio of Debt & Money Market instruments such that the Macaulay duration of the portfolio is between 1 year to 3 years.
Fund Manager:
1) Rahul Pal
Education: Mr. Pal is a B.Com (H) and Chartered Accountant.
Experience: Prior to joining Mahindra Manulife Mutual Fund, he has worked with Taurus AMC, Sundaram Mutual Fund and IDBI Mutual Fund.
