Investors grappling with the uncertainty of upcoming election results face a tough choice in the bond market. Long-term bonds could see gains amid shrinking G-Sec supply and increasing demand, while short-term debt offers attractive yields and shields against uncertainties. A balanced approach, using a barbell strategy with exposure to both long and short tenures, seems wise. Recommended options include SBI Constant Maturity Gilt Fund and Kotak Banking and PSU Debt Fund for long-term investments, and Aditya Birla Sun Life Money Manager Fund and ICICI Prudential Ultra Short Term Fund for short-term placements. This balanced strategy aims to optimize returns while mitigating risks amid prevailing market uncertainties.
