Why Debt Funds should be a part of your investment plan
Debt funds are funds that invest in fixed income instruments, such as Money Market Instruments, Corporate Bonds, Government Bonds, etc. Debt funds are considered to be safer compared to equity investments. Debt funds are ideal for investors who prefer regular income, but do not like to take much risk. The risk on debt fund increases as the maturity of instrument increases, hence lower the maturity period lesser the risk on that debt investment. Quality of portfolio also matters a lot in debt fund as this reduced credit risk i.e. risk of default.
