Hybrid Balanced Fund

Hybrid Funds are Mutual Funds that invest in both Debt and Equity to achieve the perfect blend of maximum diversification and decent returns.

Hybrid funds aim to achieve wealth appreciation in the long-run and generate income in the short-run via a balanced portfolio.

Hybrid funds are regarded as safer bets than pure equity funds. These provide higher returns than pure debt funds and are a favourite among conservative investors.
