These debt mutual funds have been arranged from lowest risk to highest risk. Identify the risk which we are discussing: Liquid Funds, Money Market Funds and Medium-Term Bond Funds

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

Options

  1. Interest Rate Risk

    Correct answer

  2. B

    Concentration Risk

  3. C

    Default Risk

  4. D

    Credit Risk

Why this is the answer

The risk discussed here is interest rate risk. Liquid funds have the shortest duration and are least affected by interest rate changes. As the duration increases (e.g., in medium-term bond funds), interest rate risk becomes more pronounced. Longer-duration bonds are more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
