†Concept of Macaulay duration: The Macaulay Duration is a measure of a bond’s sensitivity to interest rate changes. It is expressed in annual terms. It is the weighted average term to maturity of the cash flows from a bond. The weight of each cash flow is determined by dividing the present value of the cash flow by the price. Factors like a bond’s price, maturity, coupon, yield to maturity among others impact the calculation of Macaulay duration. The Macaulay duration can be viewed as the economic balance point of a group of cash flows. Another way to interpret the statistic is that it is the weighted average number of years an investor must maintain a position in the bond until the present value of the bond’s cash flows equals the amount paid for the bond. As it provides a way to estimate the effect of certain market changes on a bond’s price, the investor can choose an investment that will better meet his future cash needs.

** CARE’s fund quality rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell, or hold a security/ fund. It neither comments on the current market price, suitability for a particular investor nor on the prospective performance of the fund with respect to appreciation, volatility of net asset value (NAV), or yield of the fund. The ratings do not address the funds ability to meet the payment obligations to the investors.
