What are Long Duration Funds?

They are mutual funds that invest in debt securities and money market instruments with long maturity periods, typically over 7 years. These funds aim to provide higher returns by taking advantage of long-term interest rate movements. However, they are more sensitive to interest rate changes, making them riskier than short-term funds. So, long duration mutual funds are suitable for investors with a long-term investment horizon seeking stable income.

FAQ’s

Can you sell long term mutual funds at any time?
Yes, you can generally sell long term funds at any time since they are usually open-ended investments. However, keep in mind that some funds may charge an exit load (a small fee) if you sell before a specific period, typically 1-3 years. It is best to check your fund's specific rules before the share of a mutual fund.
Are long term mutual funds risky?
Yes, these long term funds carry moderate to high risk. They are sensitive to interest rate changes. When rates go up, these funds can lose value. They also face risks from the credit quality of bonds and market conditions. However, if held for a long time (5+ years), they can potentially give good returns.
Who Are These Funds Suited For?
These mutual funds are best suited for patient investors who can stay invested for 5+ years and handle some ups and downs in their investment value. They are good for people who want higher returns than regular fixed deposits and don't need their money quickly. They also work well for retirement planning.
What returns can I expect with the best long term mutual funds investment?
Long duration mutual funds typically invest in long-term bonds. Returns can vary based on interest rates and market conditions. Generally, these funds may offer higher yields than short-term investments. But they are also more sensitive to interest rate changes. This means there is potential for higher returns but also a higher risk of losses.
Can long term mutual funds lose money?
Yes, long term funds can lose money. When interest rates rise, the bond prices can fall. This can cause losses. These funds are especially sensitive to rate changes due to their long-term focus. Market conditions and economic factors can also impact their performance negatively.
Where do Long Duration Funds invest?
These funds mainly invest in long-term bonds, typically those maturing in 10 years or more. These can include government bonds, corporate bonds, and sometimes mortgage-backed securities. They focus on debt instruments with longer maturity periods to potentially earn higher yields.
What is the taxation on long term mutual funds return?
Long duration funds returns are typically taxed as capital gains. If held for over a year, profits are taxed at long-term capital gains rates, which are usually lower than regular income tax rates. Short-term gains (under a year) are taxed as ordinary income.
