Decoding Short Duration Funds

Corporates are the most common kinds of investors in fixed income mutual funds. Despite the fact that the situation is changing, fewer investors are interested in investing in debt mutual funds. There might be several reasons for this, as these are rarely as well-marketed as equity and Hybrid Funds. Furthermore, due to the smaller commissions provided on debt mutual funds, even mutual fund distributors are hesitant to market them. However, this is not true for every mutual fund distributor. There are a few that practise selling based on what is best for their clients, but the vast majority of them are motivated by commissions.
