Medium Duration

About

A Medium Duration Debt Mutual Fund is a category of debt fund that invests in debt and money market instruments such that the Macaulay duration of the portfolio is between 3 to 4 years.

As defined by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), these funds are suitable for investors with a 3–4 year investment horizon and moderate interest rate risk appetite.

They carry higher volatility than short-duration funds but also offer better return potential in a falling interest rate environment.
