Top Ultra Short Duration Funds in India — ranked by FundScore

Ultra short duration funds hold debt with a portfolio duration of 3–6 months. They sit one step out from liquid funds on the risk-return ladder — slightly higher yields, slightly more rate and credit sensitivity — and suit money needed in a few months to a year.

The ranking below is a published-formula percentile within this SEBI category (consistency, recency and volatility of returns) — refreshed daily from public AMFI NAV data. It describes past performance; it is not a recommendation to buy or sell.
