About Groww Short Term Fund

Groww Short Term Fund is a short duration fund managed by Groww Mutual Fund. Debt funds with a portfolio duration of 1 to 3 years.

The Scheme will endeavor to generate stable returns over short term with a low risk strategy while maintaining liquidity through a portfolio comprising debt and money market instruments such that the Macaulay duration of the portfolio is between 1 year – 3 years. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved. The Scheme does not assure or guarantee any returns.

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