Portfolio
Credit risk debt funds invest at least 65% of their portfolio in debt instruments rated below AA+. As such instruments carry higher coupons, returns from these funds are generally higher than other debt categories. These funds, however, carry very high risk. While returns may not be volatile, as low-rated instruments are seldom traded, the risk comes from write-offs due to downgrades in the debt papers or defaults in repayment. Average maturities for these funds may be short at around 2 years but may go higher. Even so, these funds need to be held only with a long horizon as this gives a buffer in the event losses due to downgrades and defaults.
These funds suit high-risk investors with at least a 3-year holding period. Investors need to be able absorb shocks of losses. They are not alternatives for fixed deposits and fit only long-term portfolios.
