Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the best low duration fund in 2026?

By 3-year CAGR, HSBC Low Duration Fund currently tops this list with +8.32%. Rankings are based on past NAV performance and refresh daily — they are not a recommendation.

How are these funds ranked?

Funds are ranked purely by their 3-year CAGR, computed from AMFI NAV history for the Direct-Growth plan. We rank over the longest period the available history supports and extend toward longer 1-, 3- and 5-year windows as more NAV data is collected. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Are these Direct or Regular plans?

All returns shown are for the Direct-Growth plan, which carries no distributor commission and therefore has a lower expense ratio and typically higher long-term returns than the Regular plan.

Returns are computed from AMFI NAV history for the Direct-Growth plan and rank past performance only. This is not investment advice — mutual fund investments are subject to market risks; read all scheme-related documents carefully.
