Income Funds
What are they? Income funds that invest in fixed Income instruments of very short maturity (less than one year).

They have no exposure to equities and also have no mark to market* exposure. And are among the least risky type of funds.

Income funds that invest in fixed income instruments of higher maturity than liquid funds.

They can have
significant mark-to-market*
exposure and hence can face significant short term volatility.

Income funds that actively take a stance on interest rates and hence look to earn returns from interest income and capital gains/losses through mark to market *exposures.
