What is an Income Fund?
Table of Content
How Does an Income Fund Work?
Typically, the fund manager invests in fixed income securities with higher credit ratings and established financial track records. Such companies have lower default risk in repayment of capital and interest.
The objective of the income fund is to maximize income. This reflects in two ways:
- Capital appreciation which is when the NAV or net asset value rises over a period of time
Dividend payout at periodic intervals depending on surplus funds
Who Is It Suitable For?
For an investor, income funds are ideal for planning for child's education, setting aside money towards down payment on a house, retirement planning, among other long-term goals.
Even investors with higher risk appetites who prefer to invest through equity funds / equities, can consider investing a portion of money in income funds for diversification.
