Different Assets, One Portfolio Hybrid funds combine assets with different characteristics. Equity can offer long-term growth potential. Debt can provide diversification and relatively greater stability. The fund's actual mix depends on its SEBI-defined category and investment strategy.
No. Their Asset Mix Can Differ SEBI recognises different hybrid-fund categories, including: Conservative Hybrid More debt-oriented Aggressive Hybrid More equity-oriented Balanced Advantage Asset allocation can change dynamically Multi Asset Allocation Spreads investments across multiple asset classes
A hybrid fund can give investors exposure to different asset classes through one scheme. This may help reduce dependence on the performance of just one asset class. But remember: Diversification does not mean guaranteed returns.
The level of risk depends on the fund's asset allocation and strategy. Equity exposure can bring market volatility. Debt investments can involve credit and interest-rate risks. Before investing, check the fund's Riskometer and portfolio allocation.
Before investing, check: ✓ Investment objective Does it match your goal? ✓ Asset allocation Where is your money invested? ✓ Riskometer Can you handle the potential volatility? ✓ Costs & exit load Understand the applicable charges. ✓ Investment horizon Are you prepared to stay invested?
