About PGIM India Corporate Bond Fund

PGIM India Corporate Bond Fund is a corporate bond fund managed by PGIM India Mutual Fund. Invest at least 80% in the highest-rated (AA+ and above) corporate bonds.

The investment objective of the Scheme is to seek to generate income and capital appreciation by predominantly investing in AA+ and above rated corporate bonds.

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

Work out what you would owe with the capital gains tax calculator.
