Frequently Asked Questions

Dynamic Bond Funds are open-ended debt mutual funds that invest in debt and money market securities such as corporate bonds, government securities, etc., across varying maturities. In Dynamic Bond Fund, the fund manager has the flexibility to decide the composition and the duration (or maturity) of the portfolio without any pre-set limitation. The idea of this debt fund category is to actively manage the interest rate risk by changing the duration of the portfolio (sensitivity of interest rate changes) based on the interest rate outlook.

The price of a bond is inversely related to yields (interest rate), meaning if the interest rates are increasing then the price of the bond will decrease and vice versa. Price of a longer-term bond is more sensitive to interest rate changes than that of a shorter maturity bond.


When the fund manager expects interest rates to go down, she invests in long maturity bonds that gain most when interest rates fall. When the fund expects interest rates to rise, he/she invests in shorter maturity bonds that are less sensitive to interest rates changes.

Sometimes, it’s difficult to assess which category of debt funds will generate good returns. To generate good returns, should you move to longer duration fund, or should you move to credit funds? Long-term bond funds are sensitive to changes in the interest rate scenario and the credit environment and they are suitable only for investors with a long-term investment horizon and a higher risk appetite. Credit funds, on the other hand, sometimes could lead to risk of downturns due to credit defaults and problems of illiquidity.

Note that not all categories are equally sensitive to interest rate changes. Investing in a dynamic bond fund can help manage interest risk as it rebalances the debt portfolio in line with the changing interest rates. The objective of a dynamic bond fund is active interest rate management of a portfolio consisting of short-term and long-term debt and money market instruments.
