Banking and PSU Funds are debt mutual funds that invest primarily in debt instruments of banks, Public Sector Undertakings, Public Financial Institutions and Municipal Bonds.
The objective of a Banking and PSU Fund is to offer the potential for relatively stable returns from fixed income instruments. Banking and PSU Funds may be suitable for investors with a moderate risk appetite looking for a relatively stable debt option with the potential to deliver better returns than very short-term categories. They can be used for medium-term financial goals, portfolio diversification, or as part of a fixed-income allocation.
Individuals can invest in such funds via SIP or lumpsum.
