Bandhan Overnight Fund - Direct Plan
An open-ended Debt Scheme investing in overnight securities. A scheme with relatively low interest rate risk and relatively low credit risk.
What is an Overnight Fund?
Overnight funds offer a low-risk option for parking money temporarily, typically for just one day, while still earning interest.
Overnight mutual funds invest in securities with a 1-day maturity. At the start of each business day, the fund's assets are in cash, and bonds maturing overnight are purchased. These funds provide a low-risk way for investors to park idle funds for short periods and earn potential returns.
Due to their short investment horizon, overnight funds offer lower returns but are highly liquid with no entry or exit load, making them ideal for short-term investments and emergencies.
Overnight funds invest in highly liquid debt and money market instruments, making them a low-risk option. Their short horizon reduces vulnerability to market volatility, though they are not completely risk-free.
These funds are taxed like other debt funds. Units held for over three years incur LTCG at 20% with indexation, while those held for less than three years are taxed as STCG based on the investor’s income slab.
