Fund Summary

- We may at times find ourselves in receipt of surplus funds – could be a salary bonus or windfall gain from your business etc.

- The application for these funds though may arise after some time. Say for example you are planning an international vacation after 6 months

. - While we tend to keep such funds in our savings accounts, there are other investment options as well which seek to offer liquidity and safety of capital & have the potential for better returns over the short term.

- One such option is a low duration fund. These funds invest in high quality debt and money market instruments of low duration (up to 12 months). These offer high liquidity and relative safety of capital while offering superior yields.

- Aditya Birla Sun Life Low Duration Fund is one such open-ended debt fund. It invests predominantly in high quality debt instruments (these can be G-secs and bonds) of duration between 6 to 12 months. This scheme identifies securities that offer better yields yet at lower levels of risk.

- The fund is suited for a short-term investing period (typically 3 months to 12 months) Learn more about Short term funds
