Bandhan Mutual Fund has introduced the Bandhan CRISIL-IBX Financial Services 3-6 Months Debt Index Fund, an open-ended Constant Maturity index fund designed for short-term fixed-income investments. The fund focuses on AAA-rated Certificates of Deposit (CDs), Commercial Papers (CPs), and Corporate Bonds issued by top banks, NBFCs, and financial institutions.
With a systematic roll-down strategy from six months to three months, the fund seeks to offer short-term yield benefits while maintaining liquidity and reducing interest rate risks. The New Fund Offer (NFO) opens on March 6 and closes on March 11. Investors can subscribe through mutual fund distributors, advisors, online platforms, or directly via Bandhan Mutual Fund’s website.
Vishal Kapoor, CEO of Bandhan AMC, highlighted the significance of short-duration debt investments. “The financial services sector, backed by strong capital buffers, low NPAs, and steady credit growth, presents an opportunity for high-quality, AAA-rated debt instruments with attractive yields,” he said. Kolkata, a key financial hub, has witnessed growing interest in short-term debt instruments as investors seek stability amid market fluctuations. With businesses and financial institutions relying on liquidity-driven investment options, Bandhan’s latest fund aligns with the city’s demand for structured, low-risk returns.
