Why multi asset mutual funds can be an attractive proposition for uncertain times

Investors facing challenging times due to global geopolitical developments and market uncertainty should consider investing in multi-asset strategies. Such strategies offer diversification and the potential to benefit from a combination of assets, including debt, gold, real estate and global funds, rather than a single asset class. This approach ensures a portfolio is not adversely affected in case of negative developments in any one asset class and can generate superior risk-adjusted returns. Passively managed multi-asset funds offer a cost-effective solution for investors, and actively managed offerings such as ICICI Prudential’s Passive Multi-Asset Fund of Funds can take advantage of a changing market environment.
