Medium to Long Duration Mutual Funds are ideal for long-term investors seeking higher returns by taking advantage of interest rate movements. These funds invest in debt instruments with a portfolio duration of 4 to 7 years, making them highly sensitive to interest rate changes. While they offer the potential for significant capital appreciation in a falling interest rate environment, they also carry higher risks, including interest rate risk and volatility. Investors should carefully assess their risk tolerance, investment horizon, and financial goals before investing in these funds.
