What are aggressive hybrid mutual funds?
Aggressive hybrid funds select a portfolio that is not risk-averse, with a focus on high-risk underlying assets for higher capital gains. They combine equity and debt, so investors are exposed to both, with equity taking priority and smaller portions in debt for stability.
Who should invest in aggressive hybrid mutual funds?
- Long-term investors, typically for five years or more, since these funds tend to show better results over longer tenures.
- High-risk-appetite investors, because the equity-heavy portfolio exposes you to risky stocks.
What should you consider before investing?
- Asset allocation: research the portfolio and check that it fits your goals and risk appetite.
- Expense ratio: fees on management reduce your profit, so lower is better.
Advantages of aggressive hybrid mutual funds
- Diversification: the equity part can generate high returns while the debt part cushions corrections.
- Equity taxation: because they hold at least 65% in equity, they get equity-fund tax treatment even with a sizeable debt portion.
- Lower volatility than pure equity funds, since up to 35% sits in debt.
- Portfolio rebalancing: within SEBI's limits, managers can raise debt in bearish markets and raise equity in bullish ones.
- Two ways to invest: SIP or lump sum.
Risks of aggressive hybrid mutual funds
- High risk: the funds target high-return, high-risk assets.
- Low diversification: they may hold limited and concentrated stocks.
- Volatility: the high equity share means the debt portion may not remove the swings.
- Higher expense ratios because the manager handles both equity and debt.
How are Aggressive Hybrid mutual funds taxed?
Gains from Aggressive Hybrid funds are subject to capital gains tax under equity fund rules. The rates and holding-period rules depend on the fund type and can change, so check the current rules or speak to a tax advisor before you invest.
