Fund Summary

- Medium term goals typically in the time frame of 3-4 years need to be funded by investments that can offer reasonable returns while still maintaining relative safely of investment corpus

- Traditional fixed income instruments tend to fall short on returns and involve high tax costs. Equity instruments, on the other hand are typically not suited for periods shorter than 5 years considering their higher propensity for volatility

- What investment type is more appropriate for such medium-term investing time frames?

- Debt funds that have medium term maturities can fill this gap to balance between the return needs of investors at risk levels commensurate with investing duration

- Aditya Birla Sun Life Medium Term Plan is one such open-ended debt fund that invests in debt and money market instruments such that the Macaulay portfolio duration of the portfolio is between 3-4 years. It seeks better risk-adjusted returns (income and capital growth) for investors by adopting an active duration strategy within the stated time frame.

- The fund is suited for a medium-term investing period (3 to 5 years)

Fund Discipline

  • - The Scheme invests up to 100% of its net assets into debt instruments such as G-secs, SDLs and PSU and corporate bonds.

  • - It can also invest up to 90% of its net assets into money market instruments and up to 10% in units issued by REITs and InVITs

  • - It maintains the Macaulay duration of the portfolio between 3 to 4 years. The Macaulay duration is the weighted average term to maturity of the cash flows from a bond.

  • - However, fund manager, in the interest of investors, may reduce the portfolio duration of the scheme up to one year, in case he has a view on interest rate movements in light of anticipated adverse situation.

  • - In case of a rising interest rate environment, the duration of the fund may be reduced and holding in Liquid bonds & money market securities could go up whereas in a falling interest rate scenario the holding in medium / long dated securities may be maximized.
