SBI Mutual Fund ne market mein halchal macha di hai! Unhone do naye open-ended target maturity debt index funds launch kiye hain, jinka naam hai SBI CRISIL-IBX 10:90 Gilt + SDL Index – Dec 2029 Fund aur SBI Nifty G-Sec Jul 2031 Fund. Ye funds khaskar un logo ke liye hain jo fixed-income mein predictable returns chahte hain.
Dekho, aajkal market mein interest rates kaafi fluctuate kar rahe hain aur inflation ki bhi tension hai. 10-year government securities ke yields abhi around 7.03% chal rahe hain, jo geopolitical tensions aur inflation worries se affected hain. Par experts ko lagta hai ki late 2026 tak ye stabilize ho sakte hain aur potentially gir bhi sakte hain. Yahan par target maturity funds kaam aate hain, jo specific maturity date wale instruments mein invest karte hain, isse interest rate ka risk manage karne mein help milti hai.
Ye dono funds bilkul passive tareeke se manage honge, matlab ye apne respective indices ko closely replicate karne ki koshish karenge. SBI CRISIL-IBX 10:90 Gilt + SDL Index – Dec 2029 Fund government securities aur State Development Loans (SDLs) mein invest karega, jo national aur state government debt ka combination hai. Jabki SBI Nifty G-Sec Jul 2031 Fund sirf central government securities par focus karega. Fund ka 95% se lekar 100% tak assets index securities mein invest karne ka plan hai, baaki thoda short-term debt liquidity ke liye rakha jayega. Yeh koi guaranteed returns nahi dete, bas index ke performance ko match karne ka aim rakhte hain.
Agar aapko yeh investment idea pasand aaya toh New Fund Offer (NFO) May 14 se May 19, 2026 tak open hai. Minimum investment sirf ₹5,000 se shuru ho sakta hai.
Waise, India mein target maturity funds ka market kaafi badh raha hai. HDFC, Kotak, ICICI Prudential jaise bade names bhi aise products already offer kar rahe hain jo government debt aur SDLs par focus karte hain. India mein passive investing ka trend bhi pakad raha hai, jo ab mutual fund assets ka around 17% ho gaya hai aur aage aur badhne ki ummeed hai. State Development Loans (SDLs) ko bhi safe investment mana jata hai, aur kabhi kabhi central government bonds se behtar returns bhi dete hain.
Ab risks ki baat karein toh, haan, government securities aur SDLs generally safe maane jaate hain. Lekin target maturity funds mein interest rate volatility ek bada risk hai. Agar investors units maturity se pehle bechte hain, toh unhe nuksan ho sakta hai agar interest rates badh gaye hon (jisse bond values gir jati hain). Thode tracking errors bhi ho sakte hain jisse fund ka performance index se thoda alag ho sakta hai. Aur haan, ye passive funds hain, toh inka goal index ko beat karna nahi, balki match karna hai. FY27 ke liye higher government borrowing bhi yields par pressure daal sakta hai.
Overall, jaise jaise India ka fixed income market mature ho raha hai, target maturity funds investors ke portfolios mein ek important role play karne wale hain. Ye government aur state debt mein invest karne ka ek clear, cost-effective aur predictable tareeka provide karte hain. Aur agar late 2026 tak rates stabilize hue, toh ye defined-maturity funds current yields ko lock karne wale investors ke liye kaafi attractive ho jayenge. SBI ki yeh nayi launches India mein badhti hui passive investing trend ke saath align hoti hain, jisko lower costs aur straightforward results ki demand drive kar rahi hai.
Dono schemes ko Rajeev Radhakrishnan manage karenge, jo SBI Funds Management Limited ke CIO – Fixed Income hain.
