Good to know

What is a bond?
A bond is a fixed income instrument which a company or an institution issues to borrow money from investors. The company has to pay interest and return the principal amount to the investors within a specific period. The interest payment on these tradable assets could be fixed or variable based on the agreement between the lender and borrowers.

Investment objective

The scheme’s objective is to track NIFTY PSU Bond Plus SDL Apr 2027 50:50 Index by investing in top (AAA) rated PSU bonds and state development loans (SDLs). This index measures the performance of AAA rated PSU bonds and SDLs maturing on April 30 2027. The constituents of the index include bonds of government-owned entities such as the Indian Railway Finance corporation, Power Grid and NHPC as well as state governments like Uttar Pradesh and Kerala.

As the scheme will invest in these highly safe bonds, investors will get stable returns with transparency. Also, there isn’t any lock-in period for buying or selling the units of this scheme. At the same time, the scheme is more efficient than other traditional investments and since it’s passively managed, the expense ratio is relatively lower. The fund has mentioned an indicative yield-to-maturity of 6.18%.

This scheme is suitable for investors who are seeking to generate stable returns over the long run.
