Gold, Equity, Debt: How Multi Asset Funds Help You Diversify And Stay Protected

Hybrid mutual funds are gaining popularity amid market volatility, balancing risk and return. Hybrid Funds: As equity markets remain volatile and fixed-income returns struggle to beat inflation, hybrid mutual funds are emerging as a preferred option for investors seeking a balance of risk and return. Experts say hybrid funds offer stability through debt and commodities while allowing growth via equity exposure. Understanding The Hybrid Landscape According to SEBI's classification, hybrid mutual funds are divided into seven categories: Conservative Hybrid, Aggressive Hybrid, Balanced Hybrid, Balanced Advantage, Multi Asset Allocation, Arbitrage, and Equity Savings Funds. 'Investors usually opt for conservative or aggressive hybrid funds based on their risk appetite and time horizon," says Sameer Mathur, MD and Founder of Roinet Solutions. He adds, 'But Multi Asset Allocation Funds are now catching investor attention, especially with rising gold prices acting as a hedge during market corrections." Multi Asset Allocation Funds require a minimum of 10% allocation in each of three asset classes—equity, debt, and commodities (typically gold or silver). This spread helps reduce volatility while still targeting decent returns. 'Gold's recent performance makes this category particularly attractive for those seeking diversification and inflation protection," Mathur explains. Sanket Prabhu, Director and Head of Wealth, notes, 'Balanced Advantage Funds are the most flexible of all. Fund managers can adjust equity exposure dynamically—buy more when markets are cheap and reduce when they're overvalued." He adds, 'Regardless of category, always assess a fund's track record through different market cycles. Pick what suits your goals and risk tolerance." view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
