Frequently asked questions

Generated from this category's live aggregates — average returns, fund counts, quartile spreads. Updated daily.

Hybrid funds blend equity and debt. Subcategories range from Aggressive (65-80% equity) to Conservative (10-25% equity). One fund, automatic rebalancing — useful for investors who don't want to manage equity:debt allocation manually.
We currently track 29 active Balanced Advantage Fund schemes (Regular plan, Growth option). The list updates daily after AMFI publishes new NAVs and SEBI re-classifies schemes. 3 of them sit in the top quartile by 5-year CAGR.
Over the last 5 years, the average Balanced Advantage Fund (Regular plan) has returned 8.30% CAGR — that turns ₹1 lakh into roughly ₹148,984. Over the last 12 months the category averaged 1.30%. Top-quartile funds in this category typically beat the average by 3-6 percentage points per year — fund selection within a category matters more than the category choice itself.
Over the trailing 5-year window, the highest-returning Balanced Advantage Fund in our database is **Baroda BNP Paribas Balanced Advantage Fund-Regular Plan -Growth Option** (Baroda BNP Paribas) with a CAGR of 11.08%. The category average is 8.30%. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns — top-quartile funds in one window often slip in the next.
The best 1-year return in the Balanced Advantage Fund category right now is **Unifi Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund - Regular Growth** () at 7.36%. 1-year numbers are noisy and shouldn't be the sole basis for picking — cross-check rolling returns and 5-year CAGR before deciding.
Across all Balanced Advantage Fund schemes with 5 years of history, the 5-year CAGR ranges from 4.23% (worst) to 11.08% (best), with a median of 8.97%. That spread of about 7 percentage points between top and bottom is a useful gauge of how much fund selection matters in this category.
On ProfitGuruOnline you can browse either Balanced Advantage Fund Direct plans (lower expense ratio, no broker commission baked in) or Regular plans (sold through distributors). Use the filter on the category page. Direct typically outperforms Regular by 0.5-1% per year in the same scheme — meaningful over 10+ years.
Balanced Advantage Fund is a Hybrid scheme — tax follows the actual equity allocation. ≥65% equity behaves like an equity fund; under 35% equity is taxed as debt. Check the AMC's monthly factsheet for the current allocation.
SIP suits hybrid/balanced categories because the in-built equity exposure benefits from rupee-cost averaging. Hybrid funds also rebalance internally so you don't have to manually shift between equity and debt.
Balanced Advantage Fund schemes are well-suited to 3-5 year horizons. Lower volatility than pure equity, higher long-term returns than pure debt.
Moderate risk. Equity portion brings volatility, debt portion cushions it. Aggressive hybrid (65-80% equity) is closer to pure equity in drawdown profile; conservative hybrid is closer to debt.
Two or three schemes from different AMCs is usually enough for a single category. Beyond that you'd be re-creating the category average minus your selection cost. Focus on consistency (% of rolling-return windows that ended positive) over chasing top performers — top quartile rarely repeats.
Quarterly is plenty for monitoring NAVs and aggregate gain; annually (or after major regulatory changes like Budget 2024) is the right cadence for re-evaluating against alternatives. Don't churn based on 1-month or even 1-year underperformance — equity funds need 3-5 year horizons to fairly judge.
We rank funds within each category by point-to-point CAGR over the chosen window (1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 7Y, 10Y, since inception), then assign quartile and decile bands so any fund's standing relative to peers is one click away. Numbers are recomputed nightly after AMFI's NAV publish.
Daily NAVs are pulled directly from AMFI's published feed. Category classification uses SEBI's October-2017 mutual-fund categorisation circular. We compute returns, rolling-window stats, SIP backtests, drawdowns and Sharpe ratios in-house — no third-party feeds, no hidden adjustments.
