- Multi-Asset Allocation Funds attracted ₹8,500 crore in February 2026, roughly 60% of all hybrid fund inflows that month.
- SEBI requires multi‑asset funds to hold at least three asset classes, typically equity, debt, and gold, creating a built‑in hedge.
- RBI's policy of stabilising inflation while keeping rate‑cut timing uncertain pushes investors toward diversified products.
- Gold surged about 70% in recent periods, boosting the performance of multi‑asset funds when equities stall.
- India is grappling with fuel‑import disruptions, with 22 energy cargo ships delayed, adding macro risk that fuels demand for diversified funds.
Why it matters: Retail investors gain diversified exposure as ₹8.5 bn flows into multi‑asset funds, while single‑asset mutual funds lose assets; the shift helps stabilize fund performance amid fuel‑import volatility.
