What is a balanced advantage fund?

The stock market today is consistently scaling new heights, yet corporate earnings and growth rates seem to be closer to their all-time lows1. This can create an environment of volatility for investors. Investors look to ‘time’ the market to ‘buy low and sell high’ but often lack the expertise to do so while navigating market volatility. An investor, especially a new one looking to capitalise on the growth potential of equity in the long term but at a relatively lower volatility level than pure equity funds, can look at a balanced advantaged fund category. .

A balanced advantage fund works on the premise that different asset classes are subject to different risks and can earn different returns at different points in a market cycle. Thus, a dynamic asset allocation approach seeks to balance its holding between equity and debt basis market opportunities, so as to earn reasonable returns at a relatively lower volatility than pure equity funds.

The primary objective of the Scheme is to generate long term growth of capital and income distribution with relatively lower volatility by investing in a dynamically balanced portfolio of Equity & Equity linked investments and fixed-income securities. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be realized.

The fund follows a blend of top-down approach and bottom-up approach to identify potential growth sectors as well as individual stocks. The fund seeks out opportunities across market capitalisations.

When the markets move towards an overvalued scenario, equity allocation is reduced, and balance is invested in Arbitrage along with Debt & Money Market Instruments. The equity exposure can range anywhere between 65-100% depending on market outlook. This asset allocation is monitored monthly and rebalanced every quarter.

This strategy can help the fund to capitalise on a bull-run of the market creating long term wealth as well as help manage the downside at the time of a market correction. The fund also uses derivatives with an aim to manage risk of its equity portfolio.
