• Investors seeking to invest in a bond fund positioned to benefit from volatility in the debt markets
• Investors seeking to do asset allocation across various asset classes
• Ideal for investors with moderate to high risk profile
Mahindra Manulife Dynamic Bond Yojana endeavours to take advantage of interest rate movements. With the flexibility to counter a dynamic environment, the Scheme aims to generate regular returns and capital appreciation through active management of portfolio in line with the evolving interest rate scenario.
  • The YTM of the portfolio is around 6.99%.

  • The Modified Duration of the portfolio (MD) increased to around 3.32 years

It was a good month for the domestic debt markets as rates across the yield curve softened. The benchmark 10-year gilt softened by around 17 basis points (bps) to close at 7.28%. There were several tail winds aiding the softening bias. Crude prices cooled off significantly by around 8-10 percent. The US ten year too softened by around 45 bps to close 3.60%.

India retail inflation printed at 6.77% along the expected lines. The core inflation continues to remain sticky around 6.30%. With commodities cooling off, we believe inflation can ease and edge closer to the RBI target band.

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the RBI meets between December 5-7. We expect the MPC to hike rates between 25-35 basis points. What may be of interest is whether the MPC takes cognizance of the softening in the commodities prices and crude prices and make policy moves data dependent. We think the domestic rate cycle is close to its peak. While RBI may have a bit more rate hike cycle up its sleeve, the markets have largely priced in such rate hikes. With RBI projecting an inflation of 5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the time is now apt for looking into fixed income products across all duration segments. With commodity prices, barring crude, softening through the past 3 months; we think a sustained commodity slowdown may provide a respite to the retail inflation.
