About Aditya Birla Sun Life Credit Risk Fund

Aditya Birla Sun Life Credit Risk Fund is a credit risk fund managed by Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund. Invest at least 65% in corporate bonds rated below the highest grade, aiming for higher interest in exchange for higher default risk.

The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate returns by predominantly investing in a portfolio of corporate debt securities with short to medium term maturities across the credit spectrum within the investment grade. The Scheme does not guarantee/indicate any returns. There can be no assurance that the Schemes' objectives will be achieved.

The scheme's stated objective, as published by Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund.

The NAV (net asset value) is the price of one unit of the fund. It is published by the fund house every business day and changes with the value of the fund's holdings. The Growth option reinvests all gains, so its NAV reflects the fund's total return.

Tax on your gains

Gains on debt fund units bought on or after 1 April 2023 are added to your income and taxed at your slab rate, however long you hold them. Units bought before that date follow the older long-term rules.
