This category is mostly seen as one that delivers equity returns with less risk or one that can be used as an income generation option โ€“ neither of which are quite right. In this report we get into detail about one of our already recommended funds in this space, while also explaining when and how to use a fund in this category.

Should you use balanced advantage funds for SWPs?

Balanced Advantage Funds for SWPs – Last week saw the NFO of SBI Balanced Advantage Fund close – and collect a whopping Rs 14,500 crore.

Why your FD strategy needs a rethink

Ever since we started our coverage of FD products at PrimeInvestor, weโ€™ve taken a very conservative approach to the entities whose deposits we recommend.
