Frequently Asked Questions
Are debt funds risk-free?
No, debt funds aren’t entirely risk-free. They may be less volatile than equities, but carry risks like changing interest rates, credit, liquidity, concentration, and prepayment. Hence, as an investor, it is crucial you personalise your portfolio based on your financial personality, which includes your risk comfort and time horizon of your financial goals.
Is a higher yield-to-maturity (YTM) always better?
Not necessarily in every case. A higher yield-to-maturity (YTM) often implies a bond having lower credit ratings, possessing higher default risk. You must weigh YTM against your portfolio quality and your time horizon.
What’s best for an emergency fund?
An emergency fund requires saving 3-6 months of expenses, meaning planning for short-term goals. While debt funds like overnight or liquid funds are usually the preferred options due to their strong liquidity benefits, it is imperative for you to choose a fund that aligns with your financial personality.
Who can invest in debt funds?
Debt funds are suitable for investors who prefer easy liquidity, want low-risk investments, or aim for capital preservation.
Are debt funds better than equity funds?
A mutual fund scheme is designed with a specific purpose. Equity funds are for capital appreciation, while debt funds focus on capital preservation. It depends entirely on your personal finance goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. Choosing between debt and equity funds must align with what you want to achieve financially.
