Suitable For Which Investors?
Medium Duration debt funds invest mainly in bonds maturing in about three to four 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 do not guarantee returns or safety of capital.
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 an investment horizon of more than three years may consider investing 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 reduces with an increase in one’s investment horizon.
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme seeks to provide investors an opportunity to generate attractive returns with moderate degree of liquidity through investments in debt and money market instruments such that the Macaulay duration of the portfolio is between 3 years – 4 years.
