Gilt Mutual Funds

Gilt funds are the debt funds that invest in Government of India securities. The Government issues these securities when it needs money to finance a particular project. The interest or coupon rate and maturity period of these securities vary. The Government Securities are issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on behalf of the Government. View More

Gilt funds do not invest in corporate securities, thus reducing risk to a greater extent. Gilt funds have a good track record of lower risk with higher returns than other investment options. The market risk of gilt funds is reduced because of the diversification that comes from investing in many securities and across a number of issuers. The credit risk is also reduced because the government is unlikely to default on its debt obligations.
