Good story covering hybrid funds as well as relevant SIFs
Hybrid funds are booming—but advisers aren’t all buying the story. For some, they offer tax efficiency, lower volatility and a smoother ride through market turbulence. For others, the price is too high: lower long-term returns and less control over where your money is invested. With ₹11.67 lakh crore riding on hybrid strategies, the real question isn’t whether hybrids work—but when they make sense for an investor. Our story looks at why advisers see the same product so differently—and what investors should consider before choosing one.

Key Risk-AI becomes strategically important → govt. need AI → AI companies gain political leverage → regulation becomes harder → companies become even more powerful → governments become even more dependent.
