Is it good to invest in hybrid funds
This is due in part to a change in taxation for debt
funds
that kicked off in April 2023. Hybrid funds are mutual fund schemes that
typically invest in a combination of equity and debt securities. This
makes them a good option for investors who are looking for a balance of
risk and return.
Hence, High Brit mutual fund schemes are becoming popular among
investors. Investments of Rs 72,000 crore have been received under these
types of schemes in the last seven months.
This huge inflow is said to be following a change in taxation on debt funds.According to the latest data from the Association of Mutual Funds of India (Ambi), hybrid schemes saw inflows of Rs 9,907 crore last October. And the revenue for the last April-September quarter was Rs 62,174 crore.
Through this, in the first seven months of the current financial year,
the total revenue has reached Rs 72,081 crore.
This is said to have attracted
investors
as hybrid funds are considered moderate to low risk.
These types of funds reduce the fluctuations of the market when the
stock participates in the market. At the same time, they provide income
stability in a stable market.
Thus, investors prefer to invest a portion in it for their fixed income,
market analysts say.
Overall, the investment in hybrid funds is a positive sign for the
Indian mutual fund industry. It suggests that investors are becoming
more comfortable with investing in a diversified mix of assets.
