About HDFC Floating Interest Rates Fund

HDFC Floating Interest Rates Fund is a floater fund managed by HDFC Mutual Fund. Invest at least 65% in floating-rate instruments, whose interest resets with market rates.

To generate income/capital appreciation through investment in a portfolio comprising substantially of floating rate debt, fixed rate debt instruments swapped for floating rate returns and money market instruments. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be realized.

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