Should you invest?
Starting from March 2021 till now, floater debt funds have done really well, the reason behind this is floater rate funds invest in AAA-rated instruments and they have given average returns of 7 to 8 percent in the last 1 to 3 years. Floater funds are diversified with fixed-coupon bonds and derivative instruments, which means that in the current environment, these funds can provide high returns in the short term, as this category has gained popularity in recent months.
Because the funds primarily invest in floating-rate securities, the return on floater funds would rise if there is a surge in interest rates. As interest rates are projected to steadily rise in the coming months, investors may invest in floater funds for short to medium term. Investors seeking consistent returns can consider investing in ultra-short term or liquid funds of this category, but keeping default or credit risk in consideration.
