What is difference in Multi Asset Fund & other Hybrid funds?
Hybrid funds are mutual funds that invest in both equity (shares) and debt (fixed income securities, bonds, etc).
They are also called balanced funds.
There are a few kinds of hybrid funds.
Multi-asset funds are also hybrid in nature but there’s one major difference. They have to invest in at least 3 different assets and must invest at least 10% in each of those assets.
For example, a multi-asset fund might invest in equity, debt, as well as gold.
