“At a time when fixed income markets are dealing with possibility of sustained higher inflation across the globe, Money Market Funds may be well suited with exposure in very liquid and high-quality money market instruments, providing attractive yield pick-up due to steep money market curve while still providing reasonable down side protection due to relatively shorter maturity of the portfolio” said Mahendra Jajoo, CIO – Fixed Income, Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India).
