One such superior alternative is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-Banking-&amp;-PSU-Debt-Fund-Reg-G-?c=21956\" target=\"_blank\">UTI Banking and PSU Debt Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-Banking-&amp;-PSU-Debt-Fund-Reg-G-?c=21956\" target=\"_blank\">UTI Banking and PSU Debt Fund<\/a> is a good alternative if you are looking for a liquid, low-risk, stable returning alternative to your FD, with at least a 1-2-year time-frame.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Fund and suitability<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-Banking-&amp;-PSU-Debt-Fund-Reg-G-?c=21956\" target=\"_blank\">UTI Banking and PSU Debt<\/a> invests in short-term bank deposits and short-to-medium-term public sector and government bonds. It generates income in two ways: One, the interest from these instruments provides accrual income. Two, the fund trades on the PSU bonds when there is a rally in their prices. This is typically possible when interest rate cuts happen. Although it trades in bonds, the fund\u2019s volatility is much lower than dynamic bond fund categories as it keeps its average maturity low. As the fund invests only in PSU bonds, which are mostly AAA-rated, its credit risk also remains low.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fund is suitable if you have an over one-year time frame and are looking at low-risk debt options. A 3-year holding period will fetch you capital gains indexation benefits and deliver better post-tax returns. Investments can be done in a lump sum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Performance<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Banking and PSU debt funds are a relatively new category of short-term debt funds and do not, therefore, have a very long track record to go by. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-Banking-&amp;-PSU-Debt-Fund-Reg-G-?c=21956\" target=\"_blank\">UTI Banking and PSU Debt<\/a> was launched in January 2014 and has delivered returns of 9.4% in the last 3 years. ICICI Pru Banking and PSU Debt, a fund with a\u00a0similar theme, is the only fund that has beaten <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-Banking-&amp;-PSU-Debt-Fund-Reg-G-?c=21956\" target=\"_blank\">UTI Banking and PSU Debt<\/a>\u2019s return over the above time frame. But the former\u2019s performance has come with higher volatility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/UTI-Bank-PSU_Performance.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"UTI Banking and PSU Debt fund has clocked 1 and 3-year returns of 9.1% and 9.4%, respectively - higher than the category average of 8.6% and 8.9%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/UTI-Bank-PSU_Performance.png\" width=\"375\" height=\"279\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For example, over the past 3 years, if one looks at rolling 1-month returns, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-Banking-&amp;-PSU-Debt-Fund-Reg-G-?c=21956\" target=\"_blank\">UTI Banking and PSU Debt Fund<\/a> has had negative 1-month returns just 1% of the time while ICICI Pru Banking and PSU Debt Fund has had negative returns 7% of the time. The volatility stems from the nature of instruments and maturity of papers. Higher maturity in the ICICI Pru fund has meant higher volatility and higher returns compared with the\u00a0more stable performance from the UTI fund.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-highlight\" style=\"clear: both; background: #f4f4f4; border: none; width: 60%; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/registration\/login.jsp?ref=blog-button\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"color: #000; font-weight: bold;\">Open<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;\"> a FREE Account Now! <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-Banking-&amp;-PSU-Debt-Fund-Reg-G-?c=21956\" target=\"_blank\">UTI Banking and PSU Debt<\/a>\u2019s minimum 1-year return thus far was 8.2%, among the best in the banking and PSU debt fund category, next to its peer fund from Reliance. This return is still higher than what deposits delivered in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Portfolios<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-Banking-&amp;-PSU-Debt-Fund-Reg-G-?c=21956\" target=\"_blank\">UTI Banking and PSU Debt<\/a> has moved from holding bank deposits to more of PSU bonds. As interest rates fell, pure certificates of deposits lost their sheen and many funds in this category upped their PSU bond holding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/UTI-Bank-PSU_Holdings.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full image-center wp-image-11774 aligncenter\" alt=\"AA papers make up 58% of UTI Banking and PSU Debt's holdings, followed by Government Securities that account for 35% of its portfolio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/UTI-Bank-PSU_Holdings.png\" width=\"507\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/UTI-Bank-PSU_Holdings.png 507w, https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/UTI-Bank-PSU_Holdings-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/UTI-Bank-PSU_Holdings-100x55.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Axis Banking and PSU Debt though remains an exception in this category and continues to hold some proportion in deposits. That fund is therefore even lower on volatility and risk than the UTI fund. But in terms of returns, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-Banking-&amp;-PSU-Debt-Fund-Reg-G-?c=21956\" target=\"_blank\">UTI Banking and PSU Debt<\/a> scores higher.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">UTI makes a fine balance between returns and an average maturity of holding. At 3.5 years, the average maturity of its portfolio is higher than the Axis fund (1.6 years) but lower than ICICI Pru Banking and PSU Debt (5.2 years). This essentially means it stands between the Axis fund and the ICICI fund in its risk-return profile.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-Banking-&amp;-PSU-Debt-Fund-Reg-G-?c=21956\" target=\"_blank\">UTI Banking and PSU Debt<\/a> is managed by Sudhir Agarwal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><em>FundsIndia\u2019s Research team has, to the best of its ability, taken into account various factors \u2013 both quantitative measures and qualitative assessments, in an unbiased manner, while choosing the fund(s) mentioned above.
