While broader market weakness pulled the majority of schemes into the red, high-conviction positioning paid off for several top funds that finished solidly in positive territory and comfortably beat the index. ⚖️ The benchmark index, NIFTY 500 TRI, closed the month down by -0.75%.

How was the month of October for Hybrid: Multi Asset Allocation Funds ? 📉 Sorted by Monthly Returns [30 Sep – 31 Oct] A steady display of downside defense! While broader equity markets remained soft this October, Multi Asset Allocation funds continued to cushion volatility effectively compared to pure equity categories. Edelweiss managed to hold green territory, Quantum finished flat, and top-ranking schemes significantly limited monthly drawdowns.⚖️ (Note: Please ignore the benchmark comparison for now, as a broad equity index like NIFTY 500 is not an ideal yardstick for multi-asset strategies. A custom blended benchmark for this category is currently in development.)

Jokes aside. Don't be in FOMO seeing me or anyone else buying the dip or putting in lumpsums. Act as per your plan. I can tolerate no returns for another 5 years. I have some cash flow expectations in the coming years, so I am going aggressive on equities. And it's not like I just buy mutual funds. I am running a momentum book as well, which has been 70% in cash for months, rebalancing monthly. Plus, I am trading multiple markets and generating some cash flow. Do what you've planned. Act as per your asset allocation. Don't put money into markets that you'll need in the near future. We can go much lower from here, or we can spend another 2 years in a range before the next leg of the upmove begins. Suno sabki, karo apni.
