    All you need to know about Corporate Bond Fund

    When it comes to debt, capital preservation is as important as capital appreciation

    Thumb rule of investing says, “High Risk – High Rewards”. Often while investing you have to choose between safety and returns. But what if you don’t want to choose? Is there an option which could aim to give the best of the two worlds? There is. Aditya Birla Sun Life Corporate Bond Fund - An open ended debt scheme predominantly investing in AA+ and above rated corporate bonds.

    How does the scheme aim for reasonable returns with moderately low risk?

    The credit goes to the strong framework which guides the entire investment and portfolio creation process.


    Let’s now see why it could be a good time to invest.

    1. Possibility of uptick in inflation positive for short-term yields

    Data indicates that inflation is slowly inching up. Food inflation rose to 2.99% in August 2019. Adding to the inflationary pressure are high crude oil prices.



    2. Macro-economic factors indicate it is time to lock –in the yields

    Despite 4-consecutive rate cuts by RBI, the 10-year G-sec levels have remained elevated. This may change if RBI continues to cut repo rate in the year ahead to support slowing growth. Consequently, we could see downward pressure on the yield curve.

    Moreover, data shows that real rates have peaked and are already declining. If inflation rises and repo rate continues to drop, it would lead to a rapid decline in real rates.
