What is a Dynamic Bond Fund?
Dynamic bond funds are a type of debt fund investment scheme which attempts to capitalise on market cycles. The fund undertakes an active investment strategy; its portfolio is changed dynamically to potentially benefit from rising and falling interest rates. Dynamic bond funds switch between short-term and long-term securities to reduce vulnerability to abrupt interest rate changes.
Dynamic debt funds are associated with a moderate level of risk. Although they attempt to ride out interest rate cycles, they are vulnerable to external macroeconomic factors such as fiscal deficit and government policies. Consequently, dynamic bond funds may be a suitable long-term investment option.
Dynamic bond funds allow investors to invest in debt and money market instruments with relatively low risk while providing the potential benefits of diversification.
Dynamic bond funds are taxed as any other type of debt fund. Units held for less than three years are subject to STCG tax. The profits from dynamic debt funds are added to the investors income and taxed according to their income tax slab. Units held for longer than three years are subject to LTCG tax at 20% with indexation benefits.
