What is Duration Based Strategy ?
Ideally, the funds which follow the Duration based strategy invest in long-term Bonds and benefit from the interest rates fall. They earn from Capital appreciation along with the coupon of the bond. But, these funds are exposed to interest rate risk and these funds can bear capital losses, if the interest rates move up.
In this strategy, the fund manager predicts the interest rate movements. The duration fund manager increases or decreases the duration and average maturity frequently of the fund as per his viewpoint. The wrong predictions of the fund manager can make the duration based Debt fund suffer a loss.
A fund managers focus is highly on managing the duration so as to maximize returns. Generally, when the interest rates are going down, the duration fund manager chooses a relatively high duration, so as to, maximize Capital Gains from the rising bond prices. And on a vice-versa situation, i.e., when the interest rates are rising, the duration of the fund would be minimized, so as to protect against capital losses on the Portfolio.
