What Is Franklin India Overnight Fund?

The Franklin India Overnight Fund invests in overnight securities that mature in 1 business day. It generally invests in repo, reverse repo, tri-party repo, and money market instruments.

FAQs

1. Is Overnight fund better than FD?

An overnight fund is a suitable option for the short term (0-3 years) as it generates reasonable returns by investing in low risk debt securities. There are no penalties for early withdrawal unlike FDs that require you to stay locked-in.

2. Is Overnight fund safe?

An overnight fund is considered to be one of the safest mutual funds because its portfolio matures in 1 day. This simply means that the overnight fund gets its principal amount invested in bonds back in one day.
