**The scheme is currently following a 'roll down' investment approach on a tactical basis and thereby intends to be repositioned in March 2024.Till then, ordinarily the average maturity of the scheme's portfolio is unlikely to increase significantly and may be expected to generally reduce with the passage of time, subject to intermittent periods of volatility in the maturity profile owing to AUM movement and market conditions. The approach being followed is tactical in nature and would be subject to change depending on investment opportunities available without prior notice.
Regular and Direct Plans have different expense structure. Direct Plan shall have a lower expense ratio excluding distribution expenses, commission expenses etc.
§With effect from 13th March 2023, the name of "IDFC Corporate Bond Fund" has changed to "Bandhan Corporate Bond Fund".
