This product is suitable for investors who are seeking*:
• To generate short term optimal returns with relative stability and high liquidity
• Investments in debt and money market instruments such that the Macaulay duration of the portfolio is between 6 months- 12 months
*Investors should consult their financial advisors if in doubt about whether the product is suitable for them.


This scheme has exposure to floating rate instruments and / or interest rate derivatives. The duration of these instruments is linked to the interest rate reset period. The interest rate risk in a floating rate instrument or in a fixed rate instrument hedged with derivatives is likely to be lesser than that in an equivalent maturity fixed rate instrument. Under some market circumstances the volatility may be of an order greater than what may ordinarily be expected considering only its duration. Hence investors are recommended to consider the unadjusted portfolio maturity of the scheme as well and exercise adequate due diligence when deciding to make their investments.
Standard Deviation calculated on the basis of 1 year history of monthly data

MUTUAL FUND INVESTMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO MARKET RISKS, READ ALL SCHEME RELATED DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY.
