Performance and Strategies of Multi Asset Allocation Funds in India in 2026
Multi Asset Allocation Funds in India have gained popularity for diversification by investing across equities, debt, and gold. Among the largest schemes, Kotak Multi Asset Allocation Fund led with a 9.71% one-year return, while ICICI Prudential recorded a slight loss. Experts emphasize diversification, noting portfolios combining gold, debt, and equity have outperformed equity-heavy ones in 2026 and over the past decade. Multi-asset funds differ from multi-cap funds by spreading investments across asset classes rather than focusing solely on equities.
