The fund belongs to the Dynamic Asset Allocation or Balanced Advantage category. This hybrid strategy combines equity and equity-related investments with debt and fixed-income exposure, with allocations managed according to the scheme's investment approach.

Unlike a pure-equity fund, its overall portfolio can contain investments with different return and risk characteristics. Fixed-income holdings, cash-related positions and equity allocations can contribute differently to changes in net asset value.
