‘The financial market is about people; therefore, there is sentiment around it – at times, very positive; at times, very depressed. The idea behind balanced advantage funds is, “How do we cushion the journey of an investor over a long period of time wherein the volatility impact can be smoothened?” That is important, therefore this dynamic asset allocation comes into play. So, you’re trying to cushion the downside. At the same time, it also tries to take advantage of the sentiment factor.”
