Responding to growing investor interest in hybrid-style index funds, Radhika Gupta, MD and CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, has said that while a regulatory framework for hybrid index funds doesn’t yet exist, Fund of Funds (FoFs) can accomplish much of that.
“I have got a bunch of requests on creating hybrid index funds, and currently there is not a regulatory framework for that. I do believe FoFs accomplish much of that," Gupta wrote in a post on X.
She highlighted Edelweiss Mutual Fund’s new Multi Asset Omni FoF, which offers diversified exposure across asset classes with a static allocation: 65% in large and midcap equities, 20% equally divided between gold and silver, and 15% in debt.
Describing the approach, Gupta said, “It’s a simple, powerful construct that works.”
In her last X post, Gupta also explained how investors often struggle with the right gold-silver mix. When Edelweiss launched the industry’s first gold-silver FoF three years ago, they maintained a 50:50 allocation, combining gold for stability and silver for alpha. “Sometimes, the real magic lies in the power of simplicity,” she added.
Gupta wrote, "We as a fund house have always liked the simplicity of 50:50 where gold provides the stability of large caps, and silver the alpha of midcaps.
