However, Scripbox does not recommend investing in 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.
Disclaimer: Products compared like fixed deposits may provide fixed guaranteed returns. Mutual Funds investments are subject to market risk, read all scheme related documents carefully before investing. Past performance is not an indicator of future returns.
Sundaram Asset Management Company Ltd manages assets worth 34,149 crores and was set up on 26 February 1996. It's current offering of mutual fund schemes includes 145 equity,182 debt and 36 hybrid funds.
