Investment Strategy
The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate regular income through investments in Debt/Money Market Instruments and Government Securities with maturities not exceeding 30 months. The Scheme seeks to generate income through investments in a range of debt and money market instruments of various credit ratings (above investment grade) with a view to maximizing income while maintaining an optimum balance of yield, safety and liquidity. The Scheme shall endeavour to develop a well- diversified, high credit portfolio of debt (including Securitised debt) and other securities that minimizes liquidity and credit risk.

Though every endeavor will be made to achieve the objective of the Scheme, the AMC/Sponsors/Trustees do not guarantee that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved. No guaranteed returns are being offered under the Scheme.
