What is a balanced advantage fund?
A dynamic asset allocation fund is more
popularly known as a balanced advantage fund.
A balanced advantage fund is a type of
hybrid fund.
It invests in debt, equity and arbitrage
positions although the allocation is not fixed and can also sit on cash if the
fund manager desires so.
Unlike other hybrid funds like multi asset,
aggressive and conservative, a dynamic asset allocation or a balanced fund does
not have a fixed mandate to follow.
The fund manager can move across different
asset classes based on the prevailing market conditions.
The importance of a balanced fund is more
felt during a bearish market phase since it can cut down its equity portion and
at the same time make periodic equity purchases in the dip.
This is unlike other pure equity funds who
at all times have to maintain their mandate irrespective of the market
situation.
This fund is suitable for investors seeking:
Capital appreciation while generating income over medium to long term.
Investments in a dynamically managed portfolio of equity and equity related instruments and debt and money market instruments.
A nfo means a new fund from a mutual fund
house which was not available earlier.
With growing acceptance of mutual funds as
a form of investment, mutual fund houses periodically introduce new fund offers
so as to complete their basket of investments available for investors.
A NFO is usually what results in the
beginning of a mutual fund scheme.
Other reasons being merger of schemes
within the same fund house or merger or acquisition of two or more fund houses,
these are rare instances though.
NFO meaning
A nfo or a new fund offer is a method by
which a mutual fund scheme raises the initial investment into the fund.
The new fund offer is available for
purchase for a limited number of days only.
After which it becomes unavailable for
fresh purchase or redemption for a couple of days.
Once this time duration is complete, the
nfo no more remains a nfo and is treated like any other open ended mutual fund
scheme.
In which you can invest and redeem as and
when you please, considering it is an open ended fund and you comply with the
necessary exit load calculations.
Should you invest
in a nfo?
You
can consider it if:
The new fund offer is a category of fund
that is not existent in your mutual fund portfolio.
If it is going to be a part of your
satellite portfolio.
If it adds a unique touch to your mutual
fund portfolio.
If you understand the functioning,
objectives and risks attached with the new fund offer.
The nfo mutual fund is aligned with your
risk profile.
You
should avoid it if:
The new fund offer is not going to add
anything of unique significance to your mutual fund portfolio.
If the nfo is going to be a part of your
core portfolio.
If the only reason you are investing is due
to FOMO (Fear of missing out).
If you do not understand the investment
style and risks attached with the nfo.
The nfo mutual fund is not aligned with
your risk profile.
Should you invest in Whiteoak
Capital Balanced Advantage fund?
Since this is a balanced advantage fund,
there is enough scope for the fund manager to move across asset classes.
Every fund manager in the dynamic asset
allocation category has the freedom to manage the fund as per her liking
therefore there is no one method and comparison.
It is better to allow the fund progress for
some months before even considering it, so you can have a better understanding of
the fund and then arrive at a conclusion whether the functioning of the fund is
aligned with your objectives or not.
Unlike equity funds, a balanced advantage
fund has less restrictions and more flexibility meaning every fund manager will
manage it in a manner that she feels fit.
With a balanced advantage fund, how it does
in a bull market is of less importance compared to how it performs in a bear
market and that is how its nav should also be judged.
If high returns is all you focus on then a
balanced advantage fund should not take your time and money.

Money in the right hand is an asset, in the wrong a liability.
You can tell a lot about a person by not how much he makes
but by how he manages what he makes.
Money is not the most important thing in your life, neither
is it any less important than your health and relationships.
If you do not respect your money, do not expect it to reward
you.
Money gives you options when you feel like you had none, this is both a blessing as well as a curse depending on you.
