Note: (1) Performance is on August 31, 2023. (2) Returns are calculated on the basis of annual compounding. The returns of the fund in both modes (ie. Monthly and Lumpsum) across various time periods witnessed with mixed noticeable variations.
PERFORMANCE: In Exhibit 3, the scheme has outperformed the category average returns in all time horizon. Gilt debt funds invest in government securities of varying maturities. Returns primarily come from price appreciation on these instruments. Funds change portfolio maturities depending on the stage of the rate cycle and can go from very long term of over 10 years to short term. As gilts tend to be the most traded and reactive, returns may be volatile in the short term. Within gilt funds, some may be constant maturity funds where the portfolio maturity is maintained at 10 yrs. The scheme's ability to deliver returns consistently is in-line with most funds of its category. Its ability to control losses in a falling market is above average. The fund's top holdings are in GOI.
