So what is Mr Conservative thinking? hould I Just invest in an 2-3 year FMP and lock in the high yield levels Scurrently in the market? But then I may lose out on mark to market gains if interest rates ease in 2 years hould I Just Invest in an income fund and hope to gain Sfrom an expected ease in interest rates in 2 years? But its more volatile & risky Mr. Conservative Investor ant I invest in a fund which has moderate volatility, has an accrual approach and Cwould have the potential to benefit if interest rates ease 5
The answer to Mr. Conservative Accrual Approach Accumulating the yields in the portfolio Potential for Mark to Market gains If yields ease in the future A scheme that focuses on accrual approach. It invests in d e b t & m o n e y m a r k e t instruments at the current yield levels to accumulate the yields in the portfolio In addition to accrual, the portfolio would have the potential to benefit from capital gains if interest rates ease in the future 6
