A scheme with relatively high interest rate risk and moderate credit risk.
The PRC matrix identifies the highest amount of potential risk that a debt mutual fund can assume.
This regulation was implemented by SEBI on December 1, 2021, requiring fund houses to categorize schemes under a potential risk class (PRC) matrix.
Banking and PSU Funds are debt mutual funds that invest primarily in debt instruments of banks, Public Sector Undertakings, Public Financial Institutions and Municipal Bonds.
The objective of a Banking and PSU Fund is to offer the potential for relatively stable returns from fixed income instruments. Banking and PSU Funds may be suitable for investors with a moderate risk appetite looking for a relatively stable debt option with the potential to deliver better returns than very short-term categories. They can be used for medium-term financial goals, portfolio diversification, or as part of a fixed-income allocation.
Individuals can invest in such funds via SIP or lumpsum.
This scheme is available through two plan options to suit different investor preferences.
A direct plan is made for investors who prefer to invest without involving a distributor. Here, there are no commission charges involved, this means that the expense ratio is lower, and this can result in slightly higher potential returns in the long term.
In this plan, you get the assistance of a mutual fund distributor who helps you in scheme selection as well as ongoing transactions. While the expense ratio is marginally higher to account for distribution costs, the guided support can help align your investments with your goals and preferences.
You can invest in the scheme using either of the following modes.
Since this is a debt-oriented fund, it is taxed as per the rules applicable to debt mutual funds. For all units purchased after April 2023, capital gains are added to your taxable income and taxed as per applicable slab rates, regardless of holding period.

Banking and PSU mutual funds invest predominantly in debt instruments of banks, public sector undertakings and public financial institutions. They are relatively stable and have the potential to offer modest returns in the short-to-medium term.
All mutual fund investments are subject to market risk. Banking and PSU funds offer relative stability of capital but do entail low-to-moderate risk. They have low credit risk because they invest in high quality securities, including government-backed ones. However, because of the relatively long maturity of the underlying securities, they are exposed to interest rate risk – the risk that the value of a security in the secondary market may fall because of a rise in interest rates in the economy.
Yes, banking & PSU debt schemes are relatively stable as they invest in debt securities of banks and PSUs that are government-backed or owned.
These funds do not have a lock-in period. They are suitable for investors with a short to medium term investment horizon.

Our Investment Philosophy reflects what we, as an organisation, believe will generate a good return on equity investment for our investors in the long term. It dictates our goals and guides decision making.
Alpha (a) is a term used in investing to describe an investment strategy’s ability to beat the market.
Alpha is thus also often referred to as excess return or the abnormal rate of return in relation to a benchmark, when adjusted for risk. Essentially, it means doing better than the crowd without taking disproportionate risk.

Collecting superior information
Analysts and portfolio managers strive to collect superior information about the business and the management of the company. They try to generate superior earnings forecast and the balance strength of the company and the industry, thereby trying to 'beat the market' on information edge. This is an important source of alpha for an investor. However, over the years, retaining the information edge has become more difficult and expensive. With a whole lot of investors trying to collect superior information, how can an investor be sure to continuously have accurate and material information about the companies, ahead of others, all the time?

Processing information better
Even if you don't have material information earlier than the crowd, you can still generate better outcomes if you are able to process this information better. Investors develop models and algorithms with enhanced predictive powers to forecast the next move. Fund managers who invest based on some pure formal analytical models are quantitative managers. Here, the goal is to try and beat other investors based on the sophistication of procedures or analytics. The analytical edge can be quite useful until it gets copied by many, and then it may stop generating superior returns.

Exploiting behavioural biases
As the name suggests, this edge is achieved by superior behaviour in reacting to the inputs available to maximise alpha. Modern finance assumes people behave with extreme rationality. However, researchers in behavioural finance have shown that this is not true. Moreover, these deviations from rationality are often systematic. Behavioural managers try to exploit situations where securities are mispriced by the market because of behavioural factors. At Bajaj Finserv AMC, we endeavour to combine the best of these edges.
