Bank of India Balanced Advantage Fund
The fund has significantly de-risked by cutting cash equivalents from 25.4% to a combined 16.8% (cash plus money market instruments), signaling reduced equity conviction after a strong market run. The introduction of TREPS as its largest holding alongside elevated government securities exposure reflects a cautious stance favoring liquidity and credit safety over growth equities. The modest 61% equity allocation, concentrated in quality financials and infrastructure, suggests the manager is protecting against downside while maintaining participation in stable dividend-paying sectors.
