Liquidation risk is one of the risks to consider.
When the needs arise, the fund manager needs to liquidate or force selling the bonds that making profit at discounted rate, which will affect the performance of the fund
Anyone invest in this fund? What is your take for investing and de invest from this fund?
As a retail investor you have neither control over exposure, duration nor credit rating.
The rule of thumb when choosing a bond funds is : the bigger, the better. Corporate papers generally run at 5mio each. So default and liquidation risk can be minimised by sheer size alone.
If these are your concerns, skip this fund. Move on. There are many other fixed income funds out there.
