HDFC Banking & PSU Debt Fund

HDFC Banking & PSU Debt Fund (“the Scheme”), with an AUM of Rs. 4,895 Cr as of 31st January 2020 focuses on generating income/capital appreciation by investing (a minimum of 80%) in debt securities issued by Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), Public Financial Institutions (PFIs), banking companies, and municipal bonds. The defined universe of securities ensures relatively high credit quality of the portfolio.

As of 31st January 2020, HDFC Banking & PSU Debt Fund has ~77% exposure to AAA and cash/cash equivalents. The Scheme has an attractive portfolio yield of 7.28%# and has consistently maintained portfolio duration lower than average modified duration of schemes in the category^. Low Modified Duration of the portfolio reduces sensitivity to changes in interest rates, thereby reducing the volatility of returns. The Scheme is well diversified with exposure to ~ 40 issuers as of 31st January 2020 and residual maturity of instruments ranging from ~ 30 days to ~10 years.

The Scheme can be considered by risk averse investors looking to allocate a portion of their portfolio in debt with reasonable credit quality. While the ideal investment horizon is 6-12 months, suggested holding period is 3 years due to tax efficiency on account of indexation.
