Gilt Fund is a category of Debt fund that mainly invests its fund money in government securities also known as G-secs. These securities are issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on government’s behalf. Considered to be a cyclical product; gilt fund’s performance is dependent on the interest rate movements. Its performance goes up when the interest rates fall which in turn; results in the appreciation of G-Sec prices. Since these funds are issued by the government they do not face credit risk. Nevertheless; they are prone to interest rate risk. In the year 2024, the performance of Gilt Funds was good. Many gilt funds have earned good returns for their investors. So, let us look how the top and best performing gilt funds for the year 2024 based on their performance (returns).
