Financial Experts Advise Staggered Investments in Gilt Funds Over Next 6 Months as Yields Remain Attractive

Investors can consider making staggered investments in gilt funds over the next 6 months as yields are attractive with repo rate maintained at 6.5%.

Gilt funds focused on long-term government securities can help beat inflation and allow capital appreciation when rates decline.

Fund managers recommend gilt funds with 3-4 year duration and sovereign holdings as yields are near peak and expected to be volatile.

Financial planners prefer G-sec funds over corporate bond funds due to narrow spread between top-rated corporate bonds and G-secs.

Investors are advised to stagger investments into gilt funds, particularly target maturity funds maturing 2026-2030 or with long duration.
