About the Scheme Type

Gilt Funds invest in various government bonds and securities, which makes them extremely less risky than all the other investment vehicles. These are ideal for risk-averse newbies as well as small investors because the money invested is in the safe hands of the government. The returns here is based on therepo rate fixed by the RBI, and are usually reasonable and consistent. While there’s not much volatility here, it will be wrong to term it as completely risk-free as the interest rate changes by the government can negatively impact your returns.
