This fund is considered a moderately risky investment due to its exposure to high-interest rate risk. As an index fund, it is also subject to tracking errors. Additionally, target maturity funds may be affected by interest rate fluctuations, especially if not held until maturity.

This fund is not diversified, as it must invest at least 95% of its corpus in GSecs from the CRISIL IBX Gilt Index. Up to 5% can be allocated to money market instruments like treasury bills. This limited diversification may increase its risk profile.
