Add Hybrid Funds to Your Portfolio

Every ardent cricket fan knows that one cannot make a great team with only super batsmen. Similarly, an all-star team of bowlers can take the wickets of an opponent but won’t win the match when it comes to scoring runs. This is why successful teams require a delicate mix of skills. The story is not different for your mutual fund investments. Hybrid Funds are mutual fund schemes which invest in more than one asset class i.e. equity, debt and other asset classes so that the risk involved is minimised and the return potential is optimised. In doing so, hybrid funds offer investors the best of both worlds as such investment avenues possess the potential to generate relatively better returns than plain-vanilla Debt Funds while being less risky than equity funds.
