Fund Investment Strategy:

The aim of the investment strategy is to provide stable returns by minimizing the interest rate risk in the short as well as long term. The Scheme aims to identify securities, which offer superior levels of yield at lower levels of risks. Liquidity will also be an important criterion and a reasonable proportion of the investment will be made in relatively liquid investments. In addition, the Fund Management team will study the macro economic conditions affecting liquidity and interest rates. The Fund Manager would use this analysis to attempt to predict the likely direction of interest rates and position the portfolio appropriately to take advantage of the same.
