2 Best Conservative Hybrid Funds To Invest For More Than 3 Years In 2021
When it comes to long-term wealth creation and getting better inflation-adjusted returns, initiating a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) in equity funds is strongly preferred if compared to fixed income instruments. Investors who plan to invest in equity funds, whether large-cap, mid-cap, or small-cap, should take note of the following. According to the statistics from S&P Dow Jones Indices as of June 30, 2021, 86.21 percent of Indian Equity Large-Cap Funds underperformed the S&P BSE 100 in the previous year. According to the research, in the previous three years, 86.67 percent of large-cap funds underperformed the S&P BSE 100, and in the last five years, 82.72 percent of large-cap funds underperformed the benchmark. For the one-year period ending June 2021, 57.1 percent of mid/small-cap and 53.7 percent of equity-linked savings schemes or ELSS funds underperformed their respective benchmarks.
Also, 82.72 percent, 76.19 percent, and 69.57 percent of Indian equity large-cap, ELSS (tax saver funds), and mid-/small-cap funds underperformed their respective benchmarks over a five-year period ending in June 2021, respectively. As the data are not indicating a green sign and where the current stock market is soaring at a record high, it is advisable to start investing in Conservative Hybrid Funds which primarily allocate their 75% of assets in Fixed Deposit-like securities and the rest in equity. In the current market scenario, this fund category can be a good bet for you as they can offer you more returns than other debt instruments like fixed deposits along with growth to your portfolio. Here are the two best conservative hybrid funds based on CRISIL's ranking of "No 1" (as of 30th June 2021) that can be considered by risk-averse investors to investing for at least 3 years in 2021 to get modestly steady income through a SIP in debt and money market instruments, as well as capital growth through minimal exposure to equity and equity-related securities.
