What are Corporate Bond Mutual Funds?
A Corporate Bond Fund is a type of debt mutual fund that invests at least 80% of its assets in high-rated bonds issued by companies. These bonds carry credit ratings, with AAA being the highest, indicating strong repayment capacity. They offer higher returns compared to traditional fixed deposits while keeping credit risk relatively low.
By investing in financially sound businesses, these funds aim to provide steady income and preserve capital, making them suitable for investors with a low to moderate risk appetite.
