Principal Protected Funds
100% Principal Protected Funds, if held till maturity, aim to provide the best possible protection for the principal. The investors receive a share of the potential gains secured from various investment instruments that fall within the investment scope of the fund. These funds, unlike conventional mutual funds, involve the concept of term. When the investors wait till maturity, in addition to principal protection, they can obtain returns from the value change in various investment products in products in proportion with their participation.
