Investment Style & Portfolio Strategy
This scheme is an open ended debt scheme that aims to generate stable returns through investments in money market instruments. The investment strategy focuses on capturing term and credit spreads and maintaining a balance between safety, liquidity, and potential return aspects of various investments.
The fund management team will take an active view of interest rate movements by keeping a close watch on various parameters of the Indian economy, as well as developments in global markets. Investment views and decisions will be taken based on factors such as prevailing interest rate scenario, quality of the security/instrument, maturity profile, liquidity, growth prospects, and any other relevant factors in the opinion of the fund management team.
The scheme may use derivative instruments like interest rate swaps, interest rate futures, forward rate agreements or other derivative instruments for hedging, portfolio balancing and other purposes, as permitted under the regulations. Hedging using interest rate futures could be perfect or imperfect, subject to applicable regulations. It may also invest in securitized debt. The scheme may undertake repo transactions in corporate debt securities in accordance with the directions issued by RBI and SEBI from time to time.
