In a bid to offer an investment avenue for short term savings by looking to generate returns in line with the overnight rates and high liquidity, Asset Management Company (AMC) major IDFC announced the launch of an open-ended debt scheme — IDFC Overnight Fund. The fund is ideal for overnight or weekend parking and has no exit load. IDFC Overnight Fund offers very high liquidity to investors and hence is ideal for corporates, treasuries, institutions, and individuals who are looking for high liquidity along with low-interest rate and credit risk. IDFC Overnight Fund will be managed by Mr. Harshal Joshi, Vice President, Fund Management, IDFC AMC. Harshal has over a decade of experience managing funds, eight of which he served at IDFC AMC where he currently manages 16 funds. 

Highlighting the rationale for launching the Overnight fund, Gaurab Parija, Head – Sales and Marketing, IDFC AMC said, “With a residual maturity of typically one day there is very little interest rate risk, hence investors who invest in mutual funds to manage their very short-term liquidity will find the Overnight fund more lucrative.”
