Five-year return spread isn't computed yet for Balanced Hybrid Fund — we need a critical mass of schemes with 5-year NAV history.

On ProfitGuruOnline you can browse either Balanced Hybrid 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 Hybrid 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 Hybrid 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.
