Multi-Asset Funds Lead Returns Amid Market Volatility
Multi-asset mutual funds, which invest in different types of assets like stocks, bonds, and commodities, have performed better than funds that only invest in stocks or a mix of stocks and bonds.
This is because commodities like gold and silver have seen big price increases.
These funds are less risky because they spread investments across different assets.
Experts say this diversification helps protect against market ups and downs.
The funds that invest a lot in gold and silver have done especially well.
However, the future performance of these funds will depend on things like US trade deals, monsoons, and company earnings.
Multi-asset funds outperformed equity and hybrid funds with a 20.26% CAGR over the past year.
Gold and silver investments significantly boosted multi-asset fund returns, with silver rising 168% on MCX.
Diversification across asset classes helped multi-asset funds reduce risk and capture upside opportunities.
Top-performing multi-asset funds allocated a significant portion of their portfolios to commodities.
Future performance of multi-asset funds depends on factors like US trade deals, monsoons, and corporate earnings.
