What Makes This Plan Variant Different

The Bandhan Gilt Fund 10 year constant duration Regular Plan FC6 shares the same investment mandate and underlying portfolio as all other variants in this scheme family. The difference between plan variants lies in their ISIN, NAV level and launch date rather than in the investment strategy or portfolio composition.

The relatively lower NAV of Rs 10.42 compared to the INF194K01FA0 variant at Rs 48.35 does not mean this plan is more affordable or a better buy. In mutual fund investing, a lower NAV does not represent greater value. What matters for investors is the return generated from their specific date of investment to the date of redemption, not the absolute NAV level at the time of purchase.

Both variants of the Bandhan Gilt Fund 10 year constant duration Regular Plan invest in the same pool of government securities managed by the same fund management team at Bandhan Mutual Fund. The portfolio Macaulay duration is maintained close to 10 years across all plan variants within this scheme family.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Return Expectations

The Bandhan Gilt Fund 10 year constant duration Regular Plan FC6 carries the same interest rate sensitivity as all other 10 year constant duration gilt funds. With a Macaulay duration near 10 years, a 1 percentage point decline in the 10 year government securities yield translates into approximately 10 percent capital appreciation in the NAV. A similar rise in yields creates an equivalent NAV decline.

The RBI's policy stance through 2025 and into 2026 has been broadly accommodative, supporting long duration gilt funds. The 10 year government bond yield has trended lower from its 2024 peaks, benefiting NAVs across the constant duration gilt fund category. Going forward, the return outlook for this scheme will depend on the pace and magnitude of any further rate cuts, government borrowing trends and global bond market conditions.

Investor Suitability

The Bandhan Gilt Fund 10 year constant duration Regular Plan FC6 is suitable for investors who are accessing this scheme through a mutual fund distributor, have a minimum 3 year investment horizon, and are comfortable with the NAV volatility inherent in a long duration gilt fund. This scheme is not appropriate for conservative investors, capital preservation seekers or those with short term investment needs.

Investors who already hold other variants of the same scheme family should ensure they are not inadvertently creating duplicate exposures. Switching between plan variants within the same scheme family may have tax implications and should be evaluated carefully with the help of a tax and investment advisor.

Key Risks

Interest rate risk is the primary risk in this scheme. The constant 10 year duration means the fund cannot reduce duration to protect NAV during rate hike cycles. Credit risk is zero given exclusive investment in sovereign government securities. The Regular Plan's higher expense ratio compared to the Direct Plan is a secondary cost risk that reduces compounded net returns over long holding periods.
