Role of Debt Mutual Funds

Most investors tend to think of debt or fixed income as a mere balancing number in their expansive asset allocation plans. While they spend a lot of energy thinking about equity investments, debt merely gets residual allocation, often without much thought. It is time to change this sub-optimal mindset. With the Indian markets offering healthy yields, debt investing through mutual funds in this scenario can make a strong contribution to one’s wealth creation goals and give a substantial boost to the portfolio.
