Are HDFC mutual fund schemes safe to invest in?
HDFC Mutual Fund is a reputable AMC in India with a strong track record. However, like any market-linked investment, mutual funds carry inherent risks. The safety of your investment depends on various factors, including the fund's investment strategy, market conditions, and your individual risk tolerance. It's essential to conduct thorough research or consult with a financial advisor to select schemes that align with your financial goals and risk appetite.
Which HDFC MF scheme is best for the short term?
For short-term investments (up to three years), debt funds are generally suitable. Within this category, the most appropriate choice depends on your specific investment horizon.

For slightly longer durations, low-duration funds (6-12 months) and short-duration funds (1-3 years) can be considered. It's advisable to match your investment horizon with the average portfolio maturity of the chosen fund to minimize interest rate risk.
