Practice question from NISM Series V A - Mock Test 5 — bank. The correct answer is highlighted below with a full explanation.

Options

  1. High yield funds

    Correct answer

  2. B

    ELSS Funds

  3. C

    Gilt funds

  4. D

    Index funds

Why this is the answer

High yield funds (also called junk bond funds) invest in bonds with lower credit ratings, which means they carry a higher risk of default. This makes them riskier in terms of credit risk compared to other funds like ELSS, Gilt, or Index funds, which typically invest in safer or more diversified assets.
