Hybrid Scheme funds

Hybrid funds invest in a mix of equity and debt instruments to balance risk and return. The proportion of each asset class determines the fund’s risk level—aggressive hybrid funds hold more equity, while conservative hybrid funds hold more debt. These funds offer potential capital appreciation from equity exposure along with income stability from debt. Suitable for investors seeking moderate risk with balanced growth potential.
