Balanced Advantage Funds See Rs 5,100 Crore Inflows Amid Market Volatility in 2026
Balanced Advantage Funds (BAFs) attracted over Rs 5,100 crore from January to August 2026, with total assets under management reaching Rs 3.3 lakh crore by August-end. These funds dynamically adjust equity and debt exposure based on market conditions, appealing to investors amid volatility. Despite net outflows in July-August, inflows remained strong earlier in the year. New fund offerings like JioBlackRock Balanced Advantage Fund have entered the market. Experts advise investors to consider BAFs for their dynamic allocation but caution that these funds still carry stock market risks and require a suitable investment horizon.
