The 8th largest AMC in India as per asset size, UTI Mutual Fund has been in service for over 50 years now. It came into existence as one of the 2 divisions of Unit Trust of India (UTI) in 2003. Since then, it has continued to be one of the top mutual fund houses in the country. As a testament to that, the company has managed assets worth roughly Rs. 182852 crore until 31st March 2021.
Investors can choose from more than 120 schemes spanning various fund categories. One of them comprises the best UTI debt mutual funds. In general, there are 7 major types of debt MFs. These are short-term, dynamic bonds, fixed maturity, liquid, gilt, income, and credit opportunities funds.
Debt mutual funds predominantly invest in money market instruments. These include commercial papers, government securities, treasury bills, gold, bonds etc. These are fixed-income assets and bear remarkably lower risk compared to equity instruments.
Besides, the top UTI debt mutual funds also come with other benefits like liquidity, steady capital appreciation, and more stable returns.
However, these returns will also be lower than those of high-performing equity-linked schemes. This is owing to the lesser risk debt MFs involve. Although these returns are predictable, there is no guaranteed amount. All mutual fund schemes involve some extent of volatility. Investors must make sure their risk appetite and financial goal align with the specifics of the fund scheme.
