These mutual fund schemes generally invest a large part in debentures, bonds, and certificates of deposits issued by public sector banks working under the government. The focus is to invest in debt instruments with a low maturity period and high liquidity. These funds are ultra-short or short to medium-term investments with a lower risk than traditional debt funds.

While these schemes are much safer than private sector undertaking, it should be noted that they are not entirely free of risk. The funds also have the potential to offer high returns, but it depends on the market conditions.
