Study Finds 70:30 Equity-Debt Portfolio Offers Balanced Returns with Lower Volatility
A recent study by WhiteOak Capital Mutual Fund highlights that a portfolio blending 70% equities and 30% debt, with rebalancing when equity allocation moves outside 65-80%, delivered an annualised 14.3% return over 20 years with lower volatility (standard deviation 14.4) compared to the Nifty 500 Total Returns Index's 14.1% return and higher volatility (20.1). This balanced approach also outperformed over three- and five-year periods, suggesting a mix of equity and debt may offer more stable long-term wealth creation.
