About Nippon India Credit Risk Fund - Direct Plan

Nippon India Credit Risk Fund - Direct Plan is a debt mutual fund scheme of Nippon India Mutual Fund. Launched on January 01, 2013, it is currently managed by Sushil Budhia. The fund has an expense ratio of 0.70% with an overall AUM (Assets Under Management) of ₹1,059 Cr.

Nippon India Credit Risk Fund - Direct Plan is mandated to invest at least 65 per cent of its assets in corporate bonds rated AA and below. The fund allows minimum lumpsum investment of ₹500 and minimum SIP of ₹100.

Investment Strategy

The scheme aims to generate optimal returns consistent with moderate levels of risk. It will invest atleast 65 per cent of its assets in debt instruments with maturity of more than 1 year and the rest in money market instruments (including cash or call money and reverse repo) and debentures with maturity of less than 1 year. The exposure in government securities will generally not exceed 50 percent of the assets.

Suitability

Credit Risk funds are avoidable for most investors because:

  • They are very risky as they invest in bonds of lower credit rating
  • They may undergo sharp declines in investment value, which is typically not favoured by fixed-income investors
  • Short Duration funds are a better choice for debt allocation in a portfolio

  • If investment is made before 1 April 2023:
    • Sold within 2 years from the date of investment: Gains are added to the investors' income and taxed according to the applicable slab rate.
