Introduction

Baroda BNP Paribas Floater Fund invests predominantly in floating rate bonds and Non-Convertible Debentures (NCD). A floating rate bond is a debt instrument with the coupon linked to a benchmark rate and gets set for, typically, 6 month periods. Therefore, as interest rates move, the coupon on the bonds also moves in the same direction. Floating rate bonds have generally lower volatility vis-à-vis fixed rate bonds, as the duration on the portfolio is less than 6 months (the typical reset period of the bond); and lower duration of a bond means lower volatility. Investors seeking a relatively lower risk investment option with the potential for optimal returns, a floater fund can be a good option.
