Floater Mutual Funds are a category of debt mutual funds that primarily invest in floating-rate debt instruments. These instruments have interest rates that reset periodically, typically linked to a benchmark rate such as the MIBOR (Mumbai Interbank Offered Rate) or the repo rate. Floater Mutual Funds are ideal for investors looking to minimize interest rate risk while earning stable returns. These funds perform well in a rising interest rate environment and are suitable for conservative investors with a short to medium-term investment horizon. However, they may underperform in a falling interest rate scenario, and investors should carefully assess their financial goals and risk tolerance before investing. Additionally, choosing funds managed by experienced professionals can enhance the potential for better risk-adjusted returns.
