Ajit Menon, CEO of PGIM India Mutual Fund, said that the Balanced Advantage Fund category is an excellent investment solution for investors. It works on a model that automatically re-balances between equity and fixed income. This work is done in such a way that investors’ tax is saved. For this, investors do not even need to track it.
The dynamic asset allocation model that the PGIM India Balanced Advantage Fund will adopt for this will treat the 15-year rolling PE average as a long-average PE to capture the changing trend in the equity market. As the market matures, we believe that this feature will keep this model relevant. For whom better.
This fund is suitable for investors who want to take moderate high risk. This fund has the ability to continuously provide long term risk adjusted returns. Also, allocation of investment between equity and fixed income instruments effectively will prove to be a great experience for investors.
This scheme will try to reduce volatility by diversifying investment in equity and fixed income assets. The fund will be managed by Anirudh Naha (for equity investment), Kumaresh Ramakrishnan (for debt and money market investment) and Anand Padmanabhan (for foreign investment).
