Details of the scheme

Now coming back to ABSL’s fixed term plan, the scheme offers both ‘regular’ and ‘direct’ plan with a common portfolio and separate NAVs (net asset value). The investors are supposed to indicate the plan i.e., either regular or direct for which the subscription is made by indicating the choice in the application form.

As far as asset allocation is concerned, the portfolio will comprise debt securities including government securities, state development loans and money market instruments. The risk profile of these constituent securities will be from low to moderate.

Portfolio allocation

The intended portfolio allocation will be 20-25 percent of certificates of deposit (CDs) of A1+ credit rating and 65-70 percent of commercial papers (CPs) of A1+ category. There will also be 0-5 percent of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) of AAA credit rating.

And in case of non-availability of CPs/ NCDs, the fund scheme may also invest in bank CDs having highest ratings or treasury bills.

The AMC also clarifies that the asset allocation may change from time to time keeping in view market conditions, opportunities available in the market, current regulations and political and economic factors, among others.

The fund manager's investment philosophy is to generate risk-adjusted returns through a research driven investment approach by investing in a portfolio of fixed income securities maturing on or before the tenure of the scheme.

The investment manager will aim to allocate assets of the scheme between various money market and fixed income securities.
