Debt Funds Show Mixed Returns Amid Market Shifts

Debt Funds Show Mixed Returns Amid Market Shifts

While the stock market has been up and down, some debt funds have done well.

Some funds that invest in medium-term bonds and corporate bonds have made good money, up to 13.6%.

Other funds that invest in US bonds have also done well, making 8.4-14.4%.

This is partly because the rupee has become weaker compared to the dollar.

However, the returns from Indian government bonds have been lower because the interest rates didn't drop as much as expected.

The best returns came from shorter-term bonds.

In the future, it might be harder to make as much money because interest rate cuts will be slower, and the big gains from last year might not happen again.
