Banking and PSU Mutual Funds

Banking and PSU Funds are investment vehicles that are safer than other types of mutual funds. These are open-ended debt mutual fund investment schemes that stand out from others owing to their investment pattern. These funds invest a minimum of 80 percent of assets in public financial institutions, banks, and PSUs (public sector undertaking) debt securities. View More

These mutual fund schemes generally invest a large part in debentures, bonds, and certificates of deposits issued by public sector banks working under the government. The focus is to invest in debt instruments with a low maturity period and high liquidity. These funds are ultra-short or short to medium-term investments with a lower risk than traditional debt funds.

While these schemes are much safer than private sector undertaking, it should be noted that they are not entirely free of risk. The funds also have the potential to offer high returns, but it depends on the market conditions. This means they are suitable for investors with a low-risk appetite, but it is essential to keep in mind the market volatility and your financial goals before investing in them.
