What is Long Duration Mutual Fund
Long Duration funds are debt funds that lend to quality companies for 5 or more years. The tenure of loan means that investment is more or less exposed to the entire economic cycle and hence is inherently more risky than other Debt Funds.
Advantages of Long Duration Funds
- Suitable when the interest rates in the economy are expected to come down or stay stable for an extended period
- These schemes tend to give almost similar returns as Bank Fixed Deposits of similar duration but have a higher risk
