Bandhan Mutual Fund has launched the Bandhan CRISIL-IBX Financial Services 3-6 Months Debt Index Fund, an open-ended constant maturity index fund. This scheme provides investors with a structured short-term fixed-income investment opportunity.
NFO Subscription Details
The New Fund Offer (NFO) for this scheme will be open for subscription from March 6 to March 11.
Investment Strategy and Benefits
The fund will invest in AAA-rated certificates of deposit (CDs), commercial papers (CPs), and corporate bonds issued by leading banks, NBFCs, and financial institutions.
It follows a systematic roll-down strategy, gradually reducing maturity from 6 months to 3 months.
This approach helps investors gain short-term yield benefits while ensuring liquidity and reducing interest rate risk.
According to Vishal Kapoor, CEO of Bandhan AMC, fixed-income investments, particularly short-term debt, offer a structured way to manage market volatility while preserving capital.
He highlighted that the financial services sector remains strong and resilient, supported by healthy capital buffers, low NPAs, and stable loan growth.
Who Should Invest?
This fund is ideal for investors seeking income from short-term maturity instruments and looking for a low to medium risk investment in a transparent, cost-effective, and liquid solution.
The scheme aims to track the CRISIL-IBX Financial Services 3-6 Month Debt Index, benefiting from the demand for short-term securities.
