Portfolio Characteristics

Risk Management

The fund as part of its revised investment mandate aims to invest 60-70% in non-AAA bonds with a duration target range of 3- 4 years. The short term space currently looks attractive from a risk reward basis and hence the fund is allocated assets to AAA securities on an incremental basis. The portfolio design should help generate stable returns while bringing down volatility relative to a longer duration fund. Currently, the fund has duration of 1.8 years.

Note: • Portfolio allocation, maturity & duration is based on the current market conditions and is subject to changes depending on the fund manager’s view of the markets.
