How mixed asset portfolios can combine growth and resilience.
Hybrid schemes combine asset classes according to their mandate. The mix can influence volatility, drawdown and recovery behaviour.
Do not assume a hybrid fund is automatically conservative. The equity allocation, derivatives, debt quality, portfolio construction and mandate determine actual risk.
MyFundGuide treats asset allocation as a planning decision. A hybrid fund may be useful where its actual exposures solve a portfolio need, but it should not be selected merely because its name sounds balanced.
