About SBI Corporate Bond Fund

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

The investment objective will be to provide the investors an opportunity to predominantly invest in corporate bonds rated AA+ and above to generate additional spread on part of their debt investments from high quality corporate debt securities while maintaining moderate liquidity in the portfolio through investment in money market securities.

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