These are the top-ranked funds within banking and psu mutual funds.Banking and PSU Funds are mandated to invest a minimum of 80% of total assets in debt instruments issued by Banks, Public Sector Undertakings and Public Financial Institutions.
They tend to invest in medium to long duration securities and hence are exposed to higher variations when interest rates change.
The category accounts for close to 8% of the total assets in the Debt Segment.
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.
