Investment Strategy

The scheme seeks to generate income through investments in a range of debt and money market instruments while maintaining the optimum balance of yield, safety and liquidity.

Suitability

Medium to Long Duration funds are avoidable for most investors because:

  • They are more risky as they invest in bonds of longer maturity
  • 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
