The equity portion of the fund would be a market capitalization, style and sector agnostic and would aim to invest in high conviction portfolio with leaders with proven track record across market cycles which could provide strength and compounding to the portfolio as well as in emerging companies with improving market share to lend alpha to the portfolio through superior earnings growth.
At the same time, actively managed Gold and Silver Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) exposure and dynamic fixed income portfolio could provide hedge and strength, respectively, to the portfolio.
"The fund will have the flexibility to invest across debt and money market instruments and across durations, making it suitable for investors looking for diversification across asset classes,' said Avnish Jain, Head - Fixed Income, Canara Robeco Asset Management Company.
'The fund will manage duration dynamically and hence will likely make sense for investors looking to participate in markets whilst mitigating losses during downturns.'
Canara Robeco Multi Asset Allocation Fund will be benchmarked against 65% BSE 200 TRI + 20% NIFTY Short Duration Debt Index + 10% Domestic Price of Gold + 5% Domestic Price of Silver. The scheme will be managed by Amit Kadam, Ennette Fernandes, and Kunal Jain.
'Canara Robeco Multi Asset Allocation Fund offers a smart solution for dynamic asset allocation, harnessing the power of 3 asset classes – equity, debt, and gold & silver ETFs – to provide investors with a dynamic mix. The fund could also be suitable for investors looking at regular cash flows using the Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) feature,' said Gaurav Goyal, Head - Sales and Marketing, Canara Robeco Asset Management Company.
'To ensure better communication with our partners, we have developed marketing materials in vernacular languages. Additionally, we have created a rap song to make the concept of Multi Asset Allocation Fund (MAAF) fun and easy to understand, helping our investors engage with the fund better.'
The multi asset allocation fund is suitable for long term investors seeking diversification across asset classes.

Despite global turmoil, inflation to stay below 4% target: MPC member
New Delhi: A worsening geopolitical situation since the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting earlier this month has heightened the upside risk to India's inflation trajectory, on account of increases in oil and fertiliser prices , said Ram Singh, a member on the panel. However, despite the upside risks, he expects the Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based inflation to stay below the 4% target. "This (geopolitical situation) can put pressure on the INR, adding to the risk of imported inflation. To address unexpected developments on the external front, we adjusted our stance to neutral. Moreover, our foreign exchange reserves (about $700 billion) provide a significant cushion," Singh told ET. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Join new Free to Play WWII MMO War Thunder War Thunder Play Now Undo Going by the World Bank forecast and the S&P commodities index, global commodity prices are expected to remain stable, except for gold and oil, he said. "Food inflation is also likely to follow a downward trajectory. All considered, I expect CPI inflation to stay below the target level of 4%," said Singh, who is director of the Delhi School of Economics. Live Events India's retail inflation hit a 75-month low of 2.8% in May, driven down by a steep fall in food prices. Singh said the Reserve Bank of India has a range of monetary, liquidity, regulatory and forex market tools at its disposal to maintain macroeconomic and financial stability in an unlikely scenario of a deteriorating geopolitical situation causing stress on the financial market and putting pressure on the rupee. On June 6, the RBI governor Sanjay Malhotra -headed six-member MPC reduced the lending rate by 50 basis points (bps), taking the total reduction to 100 bps in 2025 so far. It also changed the policy stance to neutral from accommodative. A basis point is a hundredth of a percentage point. Singh said he did not believe the monetary policy had moved too quickly over the past six months or so, at a time of increasing global uncertainty. "There was a need for a big cut. Demand for mid-size housing and urban consumption remains subdued. Private investment also remains tepid, despite the massive capex undertaken by the Centre. The capex to net surplus from operations ratio remains below the pre-Covid level. Singh had backed the rate cut, as per the minutes of the MPC released last Friday. He also pointed out that given the headline inflation forecast of 3.7% for 2025-26, at the current policy rate (6%), the real repo rate turns out to be 2.3%, significantly higher than what would qualify as a growth-supportive rate. Due to the Covid-19 effect, the average r* (r-star or neutral real interest rate) estimated for India had increased to 1.65% for the fourth quarter of 2023-24 from 1.2% for the third quarter of 2021-22, he said. "Now that the Covid-specific factors - elevated public debt and pent-up demand - are behind us, the neutral rate has likely headed toward pre-Covid levels. This gives us scope for a 75 bps rate cut in this cycle," Singh reasoned. "Factoring in the global economic and geopolitical uncertainty, a 50-basis-point rate cut in this cycle was reasonable and highly desirable," he said, adding that limited space for rate cuts does not mean that no more rate cuts are possible in this cycle. Singh further said, "Having reduced the repo rate by 100 bps, we must carefully assess the macroeconomic situation for additional cuts before proceeding with further cuts, given the elevated risks emerging in the external sector." On the surge in bond yields after the MPC's decision, he said a part of the elevated bond yields for 10-year and longer-duration treasury bonds partly reflect the strong prospects for future GDP (gross domestic product) growth. "The overall steepening of the yield curve is also a reflection of the bond market's overreaction to the change in the stance," he said, adding that the bond market would prefer a situation where it can expect more rate cuts. An alternative course would have been a staggered rate cut, but given the subdued credit growth rate and private capex, it would have further delayed the materialisation of demand and investment decisions in anticipation of future cuts. "By contrast, a front-loaded 50-bps cut in the policy rate is likely to help achieve the twin objectives of supporting demand and growth by reducing the cost of funds for borrowers," he said, pointing out that since the MPC decision there has been some (about $5 billion) outflows by foreign institutional investors from the bond market, resulting in hardening of yields and steepening of the yield curve. "Our rate cut decision is fully justified, coming on the back of strong fundamentals and a stable outlook on the domestic fronts, including fiscal prudence and a benign inflation forecast," Singh said.

ASEAN co-chair rebukes Piyush Goyal over 'B-team of China' remark
New Delhi: The Asean co-chair for the review of India FTA has expressed displeasure over commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal's recent remarks, describing several countries in the region as a "B team of China". At a scheduled India-Asean meeting held in Kuala Lumpur on Friday, the Malaysian co-chair put out a strongly worded message in response to the Indian minister's comments, ET has learnt. The occasion was Asean-India trade in goods agreement review. The Asean-India Free Trade Agreement, signed in 2009, is currently undergoing a review to address trade imbalances and other concerns.
