While the mutual fund schemes in Nepal invest primarily in equities, with NIBL Sahabhagita Fund investing in both equities and debt, the "NIC Asia Dynamic Debt Mutual Fund" will invest primarily on debt instruments, i.e. debentures.
With this open-ended mutual fund scheme, the merchant bank aims to promote the ongoing efforts of different BFIs that have been issuing a number of debenture programs into the market. It also aims to minimize the risks since investments in debentures are considered more immune to drastic downfalls like in the equity market.
The fund has invested a little over Rs. 1.12 crores in listed shares and a little over Rs. 74.12 lakhs in non-listed shares. While it has invested about 19.2 lakhs in debentures, Rs. 3 crore of the fund is kept as fixed deposits. The fund has over Rs. 45.16 crores in bank deposits.
The NAV of the fund in Poush stands at Rs. 10.02. In the earlier month, it was Rs. 9.99. "NIC Asia Dynamic Debt Mutual Fund" is at a profit of over Rs. 11.81 lakhs.
