About Kotak Medium to Long Term Fund

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

The investment objective of the Scheme is to create a portfolio of debt instruments such as bonds, debentures, Government Securities and money market instruments, including repos in permitted securities of different maturities, so as to spread the risk across different kinds of issuers in the debt markets. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved.

The scheme's stated objective, as published by Kotak Mahindra 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.
