Capital Allocation

40% capital has been allocated to Blue Chip Equity divided into 3 funds. The proportion has been categorized to reduce risk. Benchmark Index Nifty is expected to grow at 7-8% YoY. These funds may outperform the index. These funds are moderately risky, thereby 40% capital has been allocated to Debt Fund. With good credit record and portfolio, this fund will be able to protect capital from unidentified risks. Remaining 20% of the capital has been allocated to an arbitrage fund. The fund chosen has grown consistently without any major price fluctuations. This fund will be able to further balance the portfolio.

Briefing

The above mentioned mutual funds have been selected on the basis of their historical performances, fund size, fund manager experiences and their credit score. 40% of the capital has been allotted to 3 Large Cap equity funds. 20% has been allocated to an arbitrage fund and 40% has been allocated to 1 Debt Fund. Keeping in mind about the volatility in current situation, one debt fund has been given heavy weightage which would be able to reduce any unidentified risks. On a personal note, for the next 2-3 quarters, markets will remain volatile. Bullish sentiments are prevailing in markets but key factors can’t be ignored. Healthy returns can be seen after 12-18 months. India has been getting heavy investment opportunities due to US-China trade war. Overall, it can be said that investing scenario now is improving than what it was before 3 months. The debt mutual fund selected above has all AAA (highest safety and lowest credit risks) Bonds and NCDs. If you prefer alternative to these mutual funds, you can go for Nifty Gold ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds). Gold ETFs have flourished during this pandemic.
