Bandhan Ultra Short Term Fund - Direct Plan

Investment Strategy

The Scheme seeks to offer an investment avenue for short term savings by looking to generate stable returns with a low risk strategy from a portfolio that is invested in debt and money market securities such that the Macaulay duration of the portfolio is between 3 to 6 months.

Suitability

"Ultra-short Duration debt funds predominantly invest in bonds maturing in three to six months. They aim to earn slightly better returns over liquid funds but with a marginally higher degree of volatility.

They are suitable to park the amount you have set aside to meet any emergency needs or any surplus money that you don't need for the next six months up to 1-1.5 years. Investors who want to avoid the complexity of wading through the very finely classified categories of debt funds can simply give these funds a miss and stick to liquid funds for this investing need. But those, who want slightly better returns and can withstand a little more volatility, can consider ultra-short duration funds.

The risk of incurring a loss in these funds over the said timeframe is low but they do not guarantee returns or safety of capital. Remember, they are geared to earn slightly better returns than what you can get from a bank account or a short duration fixed deposit, but are not suitable to build wealth in the long run."
