- Dec 21, 2000 - Lower yields prop up gilt fund NAVs
Lower yields prop up gilt fund NAVs
News reports reveal that bond yield on 10-year government paper has fallen below 11%. This implies higher bond/gilt prices, which has propped up gilt funds net asset values (NAVs). According to reports in leading business dailies, yield on 10-year government paper fell below the 11% mark for over 6 months. In simpler terms bond/gilt prices have appreciated. This has pushed up the net assets of gilt fund portfolios, translating into higher net asset values (NAVs).

Lower bond yields are driven by improved perception on the interest rate front. Investors expect a reduction in interest rates in the near term. Whether this actually happens is another matter altogether, as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has not implied this in any manner. However, for the time being, gilt fund investors won’t be complaining.
