Why Sundaram Multi Asset Allocation Fund?

  • The fund will invest at least 65% in equity, 25% in gold and the rest in fixed income, giving investors the benefit of favorable equity taxation
  • The fund seeks to generate capital through equity, and consistent returns through fixed income
  • Gold does well when equity doesn't, acting as a shock absorber in the fund - it protects the investment from market volatility and adds to the equity returns

Gold - The Shock Absorber

Why Gold?
  • Gold and Equity have a low correlation between them, making them ideal to blend to deliver returns.
  • Returns of Gold are also well above that of other metals or basket of commodities.
  • Currency depreciation and Fed rate cuts also help enhance gold returns.
