What is Money Market Mutual Fund

Money Market Funds are debt funds that lend to companies for a period of up to 1 year. These Funds are designed in a manner that allows the fund manager to generate higher returns while keeping risk under control through adjustment of lending duration. Higher loan tenure usually comes with higher returns.

Advantages of Money Market Funds

  • Ideal for an investment horizon of at least 3-6months
  • Low chances of loss if someone stays invested for 6+ months
  • These schemes tend to give better returns than Bank Fixed Deposits of similar duration
