Short Duration Mutual Funds are ideal for conservative investors seeking stable returns with lower interest rate risk. These funds invest in debt and money market instruments with a portfolio duration of 1 to 3 years, making them less sensitive to interest rate changes compared to long-duration funds. While they offer moderate returns with relatively lower risk, they may underperform in a falling interest rate environment.
