Returns and risk are computed from NAV history and may differ slightly from other portals due to methodology (rolling vs point-to-point, dividend treatment). For research only — not investment advice.

About Dynamic Bond funds

Dynamic bond funds have no duration mandate at all: the manager moves between short and long bonds as their rate view changes. That hands one call — where rates go next — to the manager, so the outcome depends heavily on getting it right.
