Asset classes have one thing in common, they are differently co-related to each other and their performance depends on factors which may be independent to each other. Hence a combination of asset classes may help to balance out volatility.
Mirae Asset Mutual Fund announces launch of Mirae Asset Multi Asset Allocation Fund NFO, An open-ended scheme investing in equity, debt & money market instruments, Gold ETFs, Silver ETFs and exchange traded commodity derivatives
The NFO opens on January 10, 2024 and closes on 24 January 2024 and will be managed by Harshad Borawake (equity part) and Amit Modani (debt part) and the minimum investment will be Rs.5000 and Rs. 500 for SIPs.

The combination of asset classes has provided better investment experience over the years and the fund aims to capture the business cycle benefits of different assets over a period.
