Bandhan Mutual Fund has introduced the Bandhan CRISIL-IBX Financial Services 3-6 Months Debt Index Fund, an open-ended constant maturity index fund.
This scheme offers investors a structured way to invest in short-term fixed-income instruments.
NFO Subscription Details
The New Fund Offer (NFO) for this scheme will be available for subscription from March 6 to March 11.
Investment Strategy and Benefits
The fund will primarily invest in AAA-rated certificates of deposit (CDs), commercial papers (CPs),
and corporate bonds issued by top banks, NBFCs, and financial institutions.
It follows a roll-down strategy, which gradually reduces the maturity of investments from 6 months to 3 months.
This approach helps investors earn short-term returns while maintaining liquidity and minimizing interest rate risks.
Vishal Kapoor, CEO of Bandhan AMC, emphasized that fixed-income investments, especially short-term debt, help manage market volatility while preserving capital.
He also noted that the financial services sector remains strong due to healthy capital buffers, low NPAs, and stable loan growth.
Who Should Invest?
This fund is suitable for investors looking for short-term income with low to medium risk. It provides a transparent, cost-effective, and liquid investment solution.
The scheme aims to track the CRISIL-IBX Financial Services 3-6 Month Debt Index, benefiting from the rising demand for short-term securities.
