Comprehensive guide to Kotak Long Duration Fund including latest NAV, returns, fund manager details, investment objective & portfolio analysis. Start investing with minimum ₹100 SIP.
The Kotak Long Duration Fund aims to generate income and capital appreciation through investments in debt and money market instruments. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved.
Long Duration debt funds invest mainly in bonds maturing in more than seven years. They aim to earn better returns than bank fixed deposits of a similar duration. The risk of incurring a loss in these funds over the said time frame is low, but they can be fairly volatile in response to changes in interest rates.
The fund follows a strategic approach by investing predominantly in government securities and high-grade corporate bonds with longer maturity periods. The fund has allocated its funds majorly in Government and Cash Equivalent securities. The fund maintains a modified duration of 12.99 as of February 2025, which tells the sensitivity of the price of a bond to a change in interest rate.
Key portfolio characteristics include:
- Yield to Maturity of 7.26% as of February 2025
- Expense ratio of 0.3%
- Focus on government securities for capital preservation
- Strategic duration management to optimize returns
