Short history, excellent performance and huge asset base are the marks of this fund. The fund has outperformed its peers in 65 per cent of the months of its existence. It has never delivered a negative return in any month, though the category has found itself in negative territory twice over the same period. The fund has the flexibility to invest across the yield curve. The strategy is not to take undue credit risks but more of a call on spreads. Since launch it has mainly witnessed a rising interest rate scenario and is yet to witness a full interest rate cycle.  

However, we don't have much doubt as to its caliber. The fund has largely kept its average maturity on the lower side when compared to its peers and has moved within the range of 0.91 years and 2.26 years since launch. This has helped in certain instances when yields moved up. But in December 2011, when yields dropped, the fund gained much less than the category average. The expense ratio is in line with its category average.
