About Nippon India Ultra Short Term Fund

Nippon India Ultra Short Term Fund is a ultra short duration fund managed by Nippon India Mutual Fund. Debt funds with a portfolio duration of 3 to 6 months. Suited to money needed in a few months.

The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate optimal returns consistent with moderate levels of risk and liquidity by investing in debt and money market instruments.

The scheme's stated objective, as published by Nippon India 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.
