Overview
The All Debt Mutual Funds page helps investors compare fixed-income categories based on duration, credit quality, issuer type, and investment strategy.
Debt funds should not be selected simply by choosing the scheme with the highest yield.
A higher yield can come with higher interest-rate, credit, or liquidity risk.
Explained
The debt categories include:
These categories can have very different risk characteristics.
Explained
Debt categories are generally differentiated by one or more factors.
Duration-based funds maintain portfolio interest-rate exposure within specified ranges.
Corporate Bond and Credit Risk strategies differ significantly in the credit profiles they target.
Floating Rate Funds maintain significant exposure to instruments whose rates can reset.
Debt Index Funds follow passive benchmarks, while Dynamic Bond Funds actively change duration.

Advantages

Credit quality can differ sharply between debt categories.
Duration comparison can help investors avoid taking more rate risk than intended.

Before you invest

Do not select a debt fund based on YTM without examining credit quality.
Debt securities can become difficult to trade during stressed markets.
Where applicable, review the debt scheme's disclosed risk characteristics.
Costs can be particularly important when expected fixed-income returns are modest.
Taxation
Debt-oriented schemes investing more than the applicable threshold in debt and money-market securities can fall within Section 50AA.
For relevant units, gains can be deemed short-term capital gains irrespective of actual holding period and taxed at the investor's applicable rate.
Investors should verify acquisition date and the specific scheme's tax classification before redemption.
