Getting started with debt mutual funds
In the last video, we discussed equity mutual funds. Equities can be thought about as the growth asset class-they are volatile, but they have the highest expected returns. Now, in a portfolio that has a volatile asset class like equity, you need something stable to reduce the volatility as well as diversify. Why? Because having multiple asset classes that rise and fall at the same time makes no sense. This is the role that debt funds play. Debt funds invest in bonds issued by govt and companies when they borrow money. Bonds are less volatile than equities but offer stable and predictable returns. In this video, Karthik explains the basics of debt funds and the key risks.

Thank you Karthik for the simple & lucid presentation. Appreciate your good work. A question (despite being an equity trader since 2005 & F&O since 2016 my knowledge of debt funds is basic) - I had parked money in Liquidbees (bought in open market and did not buy at market but at limit) since Jan of this year. However the returns are negative (-0.2%) while the 3M returns on websites is showing 1.23% - what am I doing or understanding wrong? Was thinking of buying Liquidbees and pledging it to the extent of 50% for my option selling but this has me perplexed.
