Investment plan:
Portfolio allocation among equities, debt/money markets, and gold is heavily influenced by the asset classes’ respective valuations.
Relative valuations are determined by evaluating numerous impacting elements, which include:
- Price/Earnings Ratio relative to historical averages
- The relationship between Earnings Yield to Bond Yield relative to historical averages
- Macroeconomic factors prevailing globally, and within India
Pathak stated: “The fund is launched with an intention to provide an option to fixed deposit by potentially providing better returns over the long run. The fund simplifies investment decisions with its one-stop diversified solution that invests across asset classes and enhances tax efficiency through indexation benefits. Investors in the 30% tax slab stand to benefit significantly compared to traditional fixed deposits.”
Mehta added: “Number of investors in mutual funds are increasing rapidly and this fund provides these first-time investors to have a measured approach to equity markets along with diversification from gold and debt, thereby providing a rewarding and relatively smoother investment experience.”
