๐ŸŽฏInvestment Objective

โ€œThe investment objective of Kotak Bond Short Term is to provide reasonable returns and high level of liquidity by investing in debt and money market instruments of different maturities so as to spread the risk across different kind of issuers in the debt market.โ€

๐Ÿ’กThe investment objective is the fund's stated purpose. A fund promising โ€œcapital appreciation through equity investmentsโ€ behaves very differently from one promising โ€œregular income through debt instruments.โ€
