With an objective of investing across the yield curve, this fund strives to generate higher yields by taking relatively lower to medium term interest rate risk. The fund takes bet on high yield corporate debt instruments (including structured finance products) without compromising on credit risk.

Particularly it invests a small portion in relatively lower credit rated companies, but with a good track record (like Tata Motors), with a view that the lower rating is temporary phenomenon, in way taking a contrarian approach. The fund typically keeps 70% of the portfolio fixed and close to 30% is being churned as per the market outlook every month.

As a fund house, Templeton has expertise in managing corporate debt and structured finance products. Some of their funds like Templeton India short term income fund (Short term debt category), Templeton India floating rate income fund-Long term (liquid/floating rate income fund category) with a good mix of corporate debt are hallmarks in the respective category.

Having started with a meager Rs.350 Crores, the fund has now garnered a whooping Rs.3000 Crores in six months following its scintillating performance year to date. The fund has an exit load till 18 months. This fund will be a good long term bet.
