About TRUSTMF Short Term Fund

TRUSTMF Short Term Fund is a short duration fund managed by Trust Mutual Fund. Debt funds with a portfolio duration of 1 to 3 years.

The scheme will endeavour to generate stable returns for investors with a short term investment horizon by investing in debt and money market instruments. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved.

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