Ultra Short Duration Funds

Ultra Short Duration Debt Mutual Funds are a type of mutual fund that primarily invests in fixed-income securities with short-term maturities, typically ranging from three months to one year. These funds aim to provide investors with relatively stable returns and capital preservation while offering higher yields than traditional savings accounts or money market funds. Ultra short duration funds invest in a diversified portfolio of money market instruments, short-term bonds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit (CDs), and other low-risk fixed-income securities.
