What is a Bond Fund Medium Term Plan?
Looking for an investment that balances relative stability and moderate risk? The Bandhan Bond Fund Medium Term Plan might be a good fit for you. Designed for investors seeking relatively steady returns over a medium-term horizon, this fund primarily invests in high-quality debt instruments. If you’re seeking a bond fund with manageable interest rate risk and lower credit risk, this could be an option to explore. Let’s take a closer look at how this medium-term bond fund works.
Bond mutual funds invest in bonds issued by the government, municipal bodies, or corporations to raise capital. Bandhan Bond Fund Medium Term Plan is a debt scheme that invests in high-quality debt and money market instruments with a Macaulay duration of 3 to 4 years, offering relatively high-interest rate risk and low credit risk.
Investing in this medium-term bond fund carries moderate risk as it primarily comprises debt and money market securities with a medium-term maturity. These may include:
• Government-issued securities like coupon-bearing bonds, zero-coupon bonds, treasury bills, and cash management bills.
• Corporate or government-issued debt instruments.
• Debt securities from public and private sector companies, including bonds, debentures, and notes.
• Obligations from banks and financial institutions.
• Certificates of Deposit (CD), Commercial Papers, and other permitted money market instruments.
Bandhan Bond Fund Medium Term Plan focuses on debt instruments like bonds and lacks diversification across asset classes, which can increase risk and impact returns. It may be vulnerable to interest rate fluctuations and other risks, such as reinvestment, spread, default, market, and liquidity risks.
