Low Duration Mutual Funds are a category of debt mutual funds that invest in debt and money market instruments with a portfolio duration of 6 to 12 months. These funds aim to provide relatively stable returns with lower interest rate risk compared to longer-duration debt funds. They invest in a mix of instruments such as government securities, corporate bonds, and money market instruments. Low 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 6 to 12 months, 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. Investors should carefully assess their risk tolerance, investment horizon, and financial goals before investing in these funds.
