About Bandhan Medium to Long Term Fund

Bandhan Medium to Long Term Fund is a medium to long duration fund managed by Bandhan Mutual Fund. Debt funds with a portfolio duration of 4 to 7 years.

The scheme seeks to invest in a diversified set of debt and money market securities with the aim of generating optimal returns over medium to long term such that the Macaulay duration of the portfolio is between 4 years and 7 years.

The scheme's stated objective, as published by Bandhan 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.
