About SBI Long Term Fund

SBI Long Term Fund is a long duration fund managed by SBI Mutual Fund. Debt funds with a portfolio duration of more than 7 years. They gain most when interest rates fall and lose most when rates rise.

The investment objective of the scheme is to generate returns by investing in debt and money market instruments such that the Macaulay duration of the scheme portfolio is greater than 7 years. However, there can be no assurance or guarantee that the investment objective of the Scheme would be achieved.

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.
