The definition above is the short version. A full explanation — how it works, a worked example and the exam traps — is still being written. In the meantime the chapter below covers it in context.

Written up from the same chapter

• Fixed Maturity PlanA close-ended debt scheme whose portfolio maturity is aligned to the scheme's own maturity date, so the investor who stays to the end has a reasonably visible outcome — though never a guaranteed one.
• Interest rate riskThe risk that an investor in a debt instrument loses return because rates rise — existing instruments carrying the old, lower coupon fall in value until their yield matches the new market rate.
• Systematic Transfer PlanA standing instruction to move a fixed amount from one scheme into another of the same mutual fund at a set frequency — a withdrawal plan out of the source and a SIP into the target.
