Strategy
The primary objective is to generate a steady stream of income through investments in fixed income securities. Ideally, for a time horizon of 6 months to 3 years.

 

It is a scheme designed for investors seeking regular returns in the form of dividends or capital appreciation.

The fund has increased its average maturity in the last two years and currently it is around 5 years. Its expense ratio has usually been on the higher side and within the range of 1.25 per cent to 2.25 per cent. Currently, it is around 1.92 per cent.

 

Performance
It has outperformed its category average 10 out of 16 times. In the past 3 years it has performed better than its peers. Its year-to-date return of 11.98 per cent is also higher than the category average return of 9.96 per cent.

 

Its best performance was in the year 2009 when it was ranked 9th out of 63 funds as it was one of the few funds to deliver positive returns. The fund was also part of the top quartile in 2011 as well as 2012.

 

Why invest?
