8 Best Balanced Advantage Mutual Funds 2025
Balanced Advantage Funds adjusts its direct equity exposure based on whether overall Market valuations are expensive or cheap (on the Basis of price-to-Book Value). Thus, if the market’s price-to-book value ratio is low (based on historical values), the fund raises its direct stock exposure and relies less on arbitrage and vice versa.
Top balanced advantage funds are Mutual Funds that invest more than 65% of their assets in equities and the remaining assets in debt instruments to yield good overall returns. Balanced Mutual Funds are beneficial for investors who are willing to take a market risk while looking for some fixed returns as well. The assets invested in equities and stocks offer market-linked returns while the assets invested in debt instruments offer fixed returns. Being a combination of both Equity and Debt, investors should be very careful when Investing in these funds. The investors are advised to look for top Balanced Fund before investing in Balanced Mutual Funds. We have listed top balanced mutual funds below.
What is Balanced Advantage Mutual Funds ?
Recent SEBI norms dated April 2018 created new categories one of them is called dynamic Asset Allocation or balanced advantage fund (BAF). The norm says that funds in this category should have “investment in equity/debt that is managed dynamically”. Since this is “dynamic”, by definition AMCs have flexibility in managing these funds. The cause of confusion is that since funds in this category are termed “balanced advantage”, investors who are not so savvy equate these with balanced funds of earlier days.
It may be noted that erstwhile balanced funds are now aggressive hybrid funds, and that balanced advantage funds belong to a different sub category under hybird.
Why Balanced Advantage Mutual Funds ?
one should get into dynamic asset allocation funds or BAFs to go with the fund manager’s calls on the net equity exposure as per his reading of market valuations. To avoid confusion, don’t equate a BAF with the earlier balanced funds. Both the categories have their own merits, and both are eligible for equity-related taxation, but the difference is that aggressive hybrid funds have conventional equity exposure, while BAFs may have a lower net exposure to equity & might offer more stable returns pertaining to risk they are taking.
