Short Duration funds
Portfolio Macaulay duration between 1 and 3 years.
Every Short Duration scheme we can transact in (5), not a ranking. They are ordered by minimum SIP so the order is reproducible and means something. GrowIQ is a distributor, not an adviser, and does not rate funds. 1,047 more schemes we transact sit in AMFI categories this site has no page for yet, such as Index Funds (equity or debt) and Sectoral / Thematic; the fund explorer filters by them. 148 others have no category yet: AMFI's daily file either does not price them or files them under a heading that names none. Risk band for the category: Moderate.

How does GrowIQ choose which Short Duration funds to show?
It does not choose. This page lists every Short Duration scheme present in the exchange scheme master that we can transact in, ordered by minimum SIP so the list is reproducible. It is not a ranking, a recommendation or a shortlist — GrowIQ is an AMFI-registered distributor, not an investment adviser. 1,047 more schemes we transact sit in AMFI categories this site has no page for yet, such as Index Funds (equity or debt) and Sectoral / Thematic; the fund explorer filters by them. 148 others have no category yet: AMFI's daily file either does not price them or files them under a heading that names none.
Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Read all scheme related documents carefully. Past performance does not indicate future returns. GrowIQ Capital is an AMFI-registered mutual fund distributor (ARN-352082).
