Suitability
Low Duration funds are avoidable for most investors in our opinion, because:
- They are meant to keep your capital safe while earning low returns. This investing need is better served by Liquid funds
- There are too many types of debt funds with little differentiation, making choice difficult for investors. Low Duration funds are one of them
