Investment Style & Portfolio Strategy
Riding the yield curve refers to a fixed-income strategy where investors purchase long-term bonds with a maturity date longer than their investment time horizon.
Investors then sell their bonds at the end of their time horizon, profiting from the declining yield that occurs over the life of the bond.
For example, an investor with a 3-year investment horizon may buy a 5-year bond because it has a higher yield, the investor sells the bond at the 3-year date but profits from the higher 5-year yield.
If interest rates fall and/or the yield curve shape changes to normal from the current flat yield curve shape, then riding the yield curve is considered to be a profitable strategy.
Potential Risk Class (PRC)
The PRC matrix identifies the highest amount of potential risk that a debt mutual fund can assume.
This regulation was implemented by SEBI on December 1, 2021, making it essential for fund houses to categorize all new and existing schemes under a potential risk class (PRC) matrix.

Frequently Asked Questions
Banking and PSU mutual funds invest predominantly in debt instruments of banks, public sector undertakings and public financial institutions. They are relatively stable and have the potential to offer modest returns in the short-to-medium term.
All mutual fund investments are subject to market risk. Banking and PSU funds offer relative stability of capital but do entail low-to-moderate risk. They have low credit risk because they invest in high quality securities, including government-backed ones. However, because of the relatively long maturity of the underlying securities, they are exposed to interest rate risk – the risk that the value of a security in the secondary market may fall because of a rise in interest rates in the economy.
