Mixed Fund
Contents
Key Points
- Unlike equity or bond funds, which must hold most of their portfolio in a single asset class, they combine several asset classes in one portfolio.
- A mixed fund’s risk depends on its equity weight and theme.
- a themed mixed fund may also hold assets outside its theme.
How It Works
the minimum and maximum shares for each asset class are set in the fund’s prospectus and in CMB rules on investment funds. The manager can change the allocation within these limits; the portfolio breakdown and benchmark are published on KAP and TEFAS.
Interpretation
A sector or theme in the fund’s name (technology, health, sustainability and so on) indicates where it puts its weight.
A mixed fund’s risk depends on its equity weight and theme. To understand a fund, look at its current portfolio breakdown, risk value and benchmark rather than its name.
Pitfalls
a themed mixed fund may also hold assets outside its theme. Do not confuse it with a flexible fund; the two types follow different allocation rules. Because mixed funds of the same type can be allocated very differently, their returns should not be compared directly.
