These are the top-ranked funds within short term mutual funds.Short Term Funds invest in debt and money market instruments such that the duration of the portfolio is between 1 to 3 years.This exposes them to higher variations when interest rates change.
The category is one of the largest categories within the Debt Segment (9% of the total assets).
We assess the credit quality of funds in this category as relatively poor.We do not recommend funds in this category since we believe that the potential incremental return is not justified by the higher credit risk and higher interest rate risk.
The fund seeks to generate reasonable return commensurate with low risk and high degree of liquidity from a portfolio of money market and high quality debt securities.
