These statistics may show us why Balanced Advantage Funds are a solid pick during market downturns. But first, let's look at why you should invest.

My take

Aggressive long-term investors who want to invest in equity for higher returns while limiting their losses in the event of a market downturn can invest in balanced advantage funds to create long-term wealth by reducing their risk by not investing in pure equity funds. Under the Hybrid Mutual Fund category, Balanced Advantage Funds, also known as Dynamic Asset Allocation Funds have a blend of Equity and Debt asset class and based on market fluctuations these funds adjust their asset allocation which results in a well-diversified portfolio for you to make risk-adjusted returns in the market downturn or volatile market.

Investing in these funds can provide long-term growth and may outperform inflation owing to the existence of equity stocks, as well as a reduction in absolute risk from market volatility due to the presence of debt stocks, which can provide a cushion against equity. As a result, when it comes to controlling turbulence in various market circumstances, investing in balanced advantage funds is a good choice for limiting your risks to deal with a chaotic market.

Because these funds are dynamic in nature, the fund managers deal with volatility by purchasing stocks at low premiums and selling them at higher valuations. Without having pure equity or debt funds, this strategy improves your portfolio stability. These funds use the price to book (P/B) method to analyse undervalued stocks that may have the potential to rise in terms of market value.

The value of net assets in a company's books of accounts or balance sheet is known as book value. We may calculate a company's book value by subtracting its liabilities from its physical assets. When it comes to picking undervalued stocks, the P/B ratio is more useful than the P/E ratio. And to determine the allocation of stock values among shareholders once a company has cleared its liabilities, the P/B ratio and book value plays an important role.

In discussing the P/B ratio, it is important to note that because balanced advantage funds employ the P/B ratio approach, these funds choose stocks having strong growth potential. According to the data of ICRA in the 3rd quarter of 2021 balanced advantage funds have returned 10.14 percent in the previous six months, 26.1 percent in the previous year, 11.37 percent in the past three years, 9.74 percent in the past five years, and 12.15 percent in the past 10 years. These returns should not be your only consideration to invest in, however, what you can do is you can diversify your portfolio with 5-star rated balanced advantage funds which we have picked below and enjoy your wealth journey without fear of the market crash.

However, I would advise our readers not to solely rely on high-rated funds; instead, they should compare the performance of the fund with that of benchmark and consider expense ratio, portfolio turnover ratio, holdings, risk level, exit load, and other factors in order to invest wisely in mutual fund schemes.
