- •Strategy helps to reduce interest rate risk and generate more stable returns**: By diversifying investments across different duration segments, debt fund managers can reduce their exposure to interest rate risk and generate more stable returns.

In the current market scenario, debt fund managers are adopting a unique strategy to mitigate yield volatility in fixed income investments. This strategy, known as the 'barbell' strategy, involves allocating money at both ends of the duration spectrum rather than concentrating investments in the middle.
