    Best banking & PSU mutual funds to invest in July 2024

    July 23, 2024


    Are you looking for relatively safe debt funds to invest for a few years? You can consider investing in Banking & PSU debt funds. These schemes have the mandate to invest at least 80% of their corpus in debt investments of banks, public sector undertakings, and public financial institutions.Mutual fund advisors say banking & PSU debt schemes are ‘relatively’ safe because these schemes invest only in bonds and papers of banks and public sector companies. Since most of these entities are government-backed, they don’t have the credit risk.

    These schemes have become extremely popular after the troubles in the debt mutual fund space three years ago. The debt market was rocked by downgrades and defaults not long ago. Many conservative investors stopped investing in debt schemes because they were scared of getting back their money.

    However, this doesn’t mean that these schemes do not have any risk at all. For example, these schemes also invest in papers issued by private banks. Since they don’t have government backing, they carry some risk. However, since banks are highly regulated, the risk is minuscule. Also, interest rate changes can adversely affect these schemes.

    A rising or firm interest rate environment is bad for debt funds. However, since these schemes do not invest in very long-duration papers, they will be relatively better off. Most money market pundits say the interest rates have peaked and the RBI will start cutting interest in the later part of the year. It may start cutting rates, once it is convinced that inflation is cooling off. However, be prepared for some volatility till then.

    If you are investing for three years and aware of the risks associated with these schemes, you can consider investing in Banking & PSU schemes. DSP Banking & PSU Debt Fund has been in the second quartile for five months. The scheme was in the third quartile earlier. Axis Banking & PSU Debt Fund, one of our recommended schemes, has been in the third quartile for the last eight months. Here are our recommended schemes. Look for our monthly updates to keep track of your schemes.

    Methodology:

    ETMutualFunds has employed the following parameters for shortlisting the debt mutual fund schemes.
    1. Mean rolling returns: Rolled daily for the last three years.2. Consistency in the last three years: Hurst Exponent, H is used for computing the consistency of a fund. The H exponent is a measure of randomness of NAV series of a fund. Funds with high H tend to exhibit low volatility compared to funds with low H.

    i)When H = 0.5, the series of returns is said to be a geometric Brownian time series. These types of time series are difficult to forecast.

    ii)When H 0.5, the series is said to mean reverting.

    iii)When H0.5, the series is said to be persistent. The larger the value of H, the stronger is the trend of the series

    3. Downside risk: We have considered only the negative returns given by the mutual fund scheme for this measure.

    X =Returns below zero

    Y = Sum of all squares of X

    Z = Y/number of days taken for computing the ratio

    Downside risk = Square root of Z

    4. Outperformance: Fund Return – Benchmark return. Rolling returns rolled daily is used for computing the return of the fund and the benchmark and subsequently the Active return of the fund.

    Asset size: For debt funds, the threshold asset size is Rs 50 crore
