Pheim Income Fund

Fund Goals / Features

Pheim Income Fund aims to provide its Unit Holders with consistent income returns in the medium to longer term by investing primarily in medium to long-term fixed income instruments. A smaller percentage of the fund is also invested in equites and other high yielding instruments.

Pheim Income Fund is suitable for risk adverse investors who are looking for consistent income while taking lower risks compared to equity investments. Investors in this class would like to seek better return as compared to most fixed deposits in the longer term.
