Axis Mutual Fund identifies investment opportunities in state G-secs

Flipitmoney

Axis Mutual Fund’s Devang Shah recommends state government securities (SGS) for higher returns without compromising safety. SGS offer a 70–90 bps yield premium over central government bonds, higher yields than corporates, and RBI-backed settlement. Investors can consider gilt funds with SGS exposure or accrual funds with select AA-rated bonds for measured credit risk.
