Gilt Mutual Funds with 10-Year Constant Duration are debt funds that invest primarily in government securities and maintain a fixed portfolio duration of 10 years. These funds are ideal for risk-averse investors seeking safety and stability in their debt portfolio, as they carry zero credit risk due to their investment in government-backed securities. However, they are highly sensitive to interest rate changes due to their long duration, making them more volatile compared to other debt funds. These funds perform well in a falling interest rate environment, offering significant capital appreciation, but may underperform when interest rates rise. They are best suited for long-term investors (with a horizon of 5–10 years or more) who can tolerate volatility and understand the impact of interest rate movements on bond prices. Investors should carefully assess their risk tolerance, investment horizon, and financial goals before investing in these funds. Additionally, choosing funds managed by experienced professionals can help navigate interest rate cycles effectively.
