DSP Nifty 10 yr Benchmark G-Sec ETF-Growth
The Economic Times 2 hrs ago·22 Aug 2026, 8:34 am
This exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracks the performance of the Nifty 10 Year Benchmark Government Securities Index. It is designed to offer investors a simple way to gain exposure to the Indian government bond market. By holding a basket of government securities with a maturity of 10 years, the fund aims to provide returns that closely match the underlying bond index.
For investors, this instrument serves as a low-cost alternative to buying individual bonds. It provides a steady income stream through interest payments and the potential for capital appreciation as interest rates fall. It acts as a safe haven asset, helping to diversify a portfolio that may already hold equities.
Investors should watch the movement of long-term interest rates and the yield on government bonds. The fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) will fluctuate based on these rates. Since it is a growth option, returns are reinvested rather than paid out, which can lead to compounding over time.
