Investments in central and state government may be undertaken for active duration management.
The Fund Manager will actively monitor the prevailing political conditions, economic environment (including interest rates and inflation etc.), performance of the corporate sector and general liquidity as well as other considerations in the economy & markets to assess the likely direction of interest rates and to position the portfolio appropriately to take advantage of the same.
