About DSP Credit Risk Fund

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

An Open ended income Scheme, seeking to generate returns commensurate with risk from a portfolio constituted of money market securities and/or debt securities.

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