Hybrid SIFs

Hybrid SIF strategies invest across multiple asset classes simultaneously: Equity, Debt, Derivatives, REITs, InvITs and Commodity derivatives.

SEBI has defined two strategies in this category:

1. Active Asset Allocator Long-Short
   Active asset allocation is the most flexible SIF strategy in terms of asset class scope. The fund manager can dynamically shift the portfolio across different asset classes such as Equity, Debt, Equity Derivatives, Foreign Securities, Debt Derivatives, REITs and InvITs and Commodity Derivatives. There is no fixed minimum allocation to any single asset class; the entire portfolio can dynamically shift based on prevailing market conditions, economic trends, and risk-return opportunities. The key constraint is the short exposure limit capped to 25 per cent of net assets.
2. Hybrid Long-Short
   Hybrid Long-Short mandates a meaningful allocation to both equity and debt at all times, unlike the active asset allocator, which has no fixed floors. The parameters are: Minimum allocation to equity: 25 per cent, Minimum allocation to debt: 25 per cent, Maximum unhedged short exposure: 25 per cent.

The way we manage Hybrid (multi-asset) funds

We aim to offer uniquely positioned funds to serve targeted investment needs for different investment goals and different investor profiles. We apply strict controls and make regular adjustments to make sure our funds remain on track with their long-term objectives.

Matching your investment profile

Your investment profile depends on several things:

• Your investment objective – what you want to do with the money: fund your retirement, increase your wealth at healthy pace or buy an holiday home?
• Your investment horizon – how long you have before you need the money back: are you planning on retiring in ten years or thirty?
• Your risk appetite – how much can the value of your portfolio go down before you start losing sleep over it?

Your profile will change over time, and you should review it with your adviser on a regular basis.

Remember that no investment is without risk

The value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. For investors holding overseas investments, the rate of currency exchange can also cause the value of these investments to go up or down. Active management and strict strategy level risk controls help reduce portfolio volatility, provide downside protection, and deliver more stable outcomes.
