Multi Asset Allocation Mutual Funds

Multi-Asset Allocation Mutual Funds are balanced funds that invest at least 10% of their portfolio in three or more asset classes as per the SEBI guidelines. The fund can invest in a diverse range of assets and securities in the equity and debt market, including gold, real estate, commodities, bonds, stocks, gold, international equities, etc. This wide range of investment options provides investors the benefit of exposure to a diversified portfolio and a lower risk from volatility in any asset class.

The distribution and allocation of assets in a Multi-Asset Fund can vary, and it is up to the fund manager how the allocation and investment are to be planned. As per SEBI guidelines, the Multi-Asset Allocation Fund has to have at least 10% of its portfolio in three or more asset classes, while there are no restrictions on which assets or allocations the fund manager has to follow. These funds follow the principles of ‘Do not put all your eggs in one basket,’ allowing investors to enter multiple asset classes and get performance benefits at different times.

Multi-Asset Funds allow the fund managers to play an instrumental role since they get higher flexibility to allocate funds as per market conditions and their analysis. For instance, if the stock market is volatile, the fund manager can give a higher allocation towards debt, gold, or safer instruments to ensure no adverse effects on the fund’s returns. Meanwhile, when the market is experiencing a bull run, the fund manager can increase exposure to equity-linked schemes and make the best of both situations.
