The gains from the sale of dynamic bond funds are taxed at 20% after the indexation benefit. Investors paying tax at the highest tax rate and wanting to invest in debt instruments will benefit from this aspect.

Who Should Invest in SBI Dynamic Bond Fund?

While SBI Dynamic Bond Fund is ideal for an investment horizon of 3-5 years, such funds don't suit all investors.

A dynamic bond fund’s return depends on interest rate movements, and they carry moderately high levels of risk. Funds such as SBI Dynamic Bond Fund are suitable for investors who wish to invest in the bond market but are not competent to make any decisions on interest rate movements. 

Conservative investors, who are loathed to witnessing volatile price movements, are advised to stay away from dynamic bond funds. Although Dynamic Bond funds do not have restrictions on the duration and credit quality of securities, they have to withstand interest rate risk and credit risk. Hence, the broad portfolio of the Dynamic Bond fund may impact the Fund's performance when the interest rates move against the fund manager’s forecast. Only investors who have sufficient money to withstand the inherent risk in these funds may look at investing in them for 3-5 year tenure.

Conclusion

SBI Dynamic Bond Fund’s annualized returns for the last five years have been better than the NIFTY Composite Debt Index benchmark. Investors with a target investment period of 3-5 years in debt instruments may consider investing in SBI Dynamic Bond Fund.
