Who should consider?

Before investing in conservative hybrid funds, make sure you know what your financial goals are, and only invest if the scheme has the potential to help you accomplish them. The conservative hybrid fund invests in the stock market. They invest in equities, even if it is only a little component of their portfolio. And, as we all know, profits on stock investments are never assured. As a result, keep track of your fund's performance at regular intervals and rebalance your portfolio as appropriate. Check the past performance of any plan before investing. Check the fund's expenditure ratio and whether it is operated by a respected asset management company.
