About Debt Mutual Funds (Debt MFs)
Debt Mutual Funds are funds that invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, government securities, treasury bills and other money market securities. Since Debt MF’s invest in fixed income securities (and not equity), they are a much safer form of investment that is suitable for conservative investor’s and for more shorter-term financial goals.
Debt MF’s are a highly recommended replacement for bank fixed deposits, due to a much greater-level of tax-efficiency & flexibility.
