Hybrid funds are an attractive option now
In recent times, when Indian stock markets have witnessed high level of volatility due to global factors and some domestic reasons, hybrid funds have attracted more attention from investors. Balanced Advantage funds are an ideal choice for investors with a relatively low risk appetite, providing a balance between growth and capital protection. These schemes adjust equity exposure dynamically. This means that when market valuations become high, the scheme reduces exposure to equities and when there is a short-term decline in the market, the scheme increases exposure to equities. Buying opportunities are taken advantage of with this strategy. Also, in schemes like Baroda BNP Paribas Balanced Advantage Fund, the fund manager ensures that debt investments are placed in high-credit-quality instruments, which provide additional safety.
Most Profitable IPO: 7 highest earning IPOs this year, investors got 110 to 254% returns, these 5 suffered the highest loss.
High returns with diversification
This fund invests in large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap equity shares, which reduces the risk by providing the benefit of diversification. At the same time, since there is no obligation to invest in a single market cap, maximum returns are also ensured by this fund. With its active asset allocation and dynamic management, Baroda BNP Paribas Balanced Advantage Fund remains a preferred choice for investors looking for a growth-oriented strategy along with exposure to different market caps.
(Note: It is not guaranteed whether the past returns in any equity fund will continue or not. This may or may not continue in the future. There are risks in the market, so seek expert advice before investing.)
