While building a portfolio, it is vital to avoid overexposure to a particular asset class. Although equity investments are among the most popular investment options for many, including a debt component can help investors build a well-rounded, diverse portfolio that can also help minimise risk. A medium to long-duration mutual fund is one such debt investment that investors can consider adding to their portfolio.
A medium- to long-duration mutual fund is an open-ended debt mutual fund that invests in debt securities with an average maturity of 4-7 years.
Typically, a medium- to long-duration fund invests in corporate debt instruments, which might include securities with maturities of 1 to 4 years, as well as those with maturities of 5 to 7 years or more.
Since these funds have a longer maturity than short-duration mutual funds, they are more susceptible to interest rate fluctuations but also have the potential to generate higher returns.
