RBI MPC Meeting Spurs Debate on Short vs. Long-Duration Debt Funds
Ahead of the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee meeting, investors face a choice between longer-duration and shorter-duration debt funds. DSP Mutual Fund suggests that liquid, money market, and ultra-short-duration funds may be preferable in the near term due to uncertainty over interest rates. While some speculate on a rate hike to support the rupee, DSP expects no increase, noting RBI's usual preference for regulatory and liquidity measures first. Short-term funds offer attractive yields with lower duration risk amid this uncertainty.
