Government Securities Investment Fund

A Government Securities Investment Fund is a type of mutual fund that invests primarily in government-issued bonds and securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or similar debt instruments. These funds aim to provide investors with a safe, steady stream of income while preserving capital, since government securities are considered low-risk. They are suitable for conservative investors seeking stability and predictable returns, often used for short-term parking of funds or for retirement savings. The fund's performance depends on interest rates and government policies but generally offers lower risk compared to stocks or corporate bonds.
