Frequently Asked Questions
Focus on the liquidity of the fund, the credit quality of the instruments it holds, and its average maturity period. Also, evaluate the historical performance and the fund manager's strategy for managing short-term volatility.
Short-term debt funds can be a good option for investors looking to park their funds for a brief period while earning better returns than traditional savings, with relatively low risk and easy liquidity.
These funds offer quick access to your money, lower interest rate risk, and generally more stable returns compared to longer-duration funds. They are ideal for achieving short-term financial goals without significant risk.
While typically safer, short-term debt funds can still face market risks, including changes in interest rates and credit risks associated with the issuers of the bonds they hold.
Best short term debt funds are suitable for investors who might need access to their funds in the near future. These funds are ideal for those seeking low-risk investments and aiming to meet short-term financial obligations or goals.
On Dhan, research and select short-term debt funds that fit your investment timeframe and risk profile. Complete the necessary account setup and KYC, then choose to invest either through a lump sum or a SIP. Regularly assess your fund's performance on Dhan to make sure it meets your short-term financial goals.
