Overview

Gilt mutual funds: Overview

A gilt fund is a type of mutual fund that invests chiefly in government securities. These are bonds and debt instruments issued by the government, so they carry virtually no risk of default. Because of this, gilt funds are considered relatively stable investment avenues and carry lower risk than funds investing in corporate bonds. However, their return potential is affected by changes in interest rates. When interest rates fall, the prices of existing bonds rise, leading to better returns for investors. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the market value of existing bonds falls.
Such funds are suitable for investors who want a lower risk avenue, especially during uncertain times in the financial markets. Gilt funds can also help investors earn better returns over the long term if interest rates decrease.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Gilt mutual funds are debt funds that invest primarily in government securities. G-secs typically hold minimal credit risk due to the backing of the sovereign entity. Gilt funds are mandated to allocate a minimum of 80% of their total assets to government securities. These funds aim to offer relatively stable return potential and the potential for steady income.

Gilt funds invest chiefly in government securities, nearly eliminating credit risk as the government is considered a very reliable borrower. Moreover, such benefits can offer capital appreciation potential when interest rates decline, increasing the value of existing fixed-income securities in the secondary market.

The Bajaj Finserv Gilt Fund can be suitable for moderately conservative investors who are seeking reasonable return potential in the medium term, with less volatility than equity funds. It is also suitable for those who want to mitigate credit risk by investing chiefly in government securities. Additionally, it can be a suitable way for investors to diversify their portfolios to add relative stability.
