These funds offer higher maturity than short-term debt funds but lower maturity compared to medium-to-long or long-duration funds.

The introduction of Medium Duration Funds in 2018 by SEBI streamlined the mutual fund categories, making them distinct from other debt funds. With average returns ranging around 7% to 9%, they offer potentially better yields than traditional bank deposits, but with moderate risk. These funds tend to invest in slightly riskier securities, exposing them to higher credit and interest rate risks. Investors must align their financial goals with the fund’s maturity to ensure effective wealth creation over the 3-4 year investment period.
