Best Balanced Funds 2019

Best Balanced Funds 2019 are those type of mutual fund which invests in both the debt and equity part of the market. This helps in decreasing the volatility of the portfolio.

Balanced Mutual Funds helps the investors to achieve better post-tax returns and also guard them against inflation. For the purpose of taxation, balanced funds are categorized as equity mutual funds because they invest at least 65% of the money in shares. This assures that there is no capital gain tax if the investor remains invested for more than one year. They are in the “asset allocation” family. Balanced fund portfolios do not change their asset mix.

A balanced mutual fund is only a mutual fund plan wherein even the debt part is taxed as equity. Dividends are tax-free.

Investors who have a dual interest in investments in receiving a good exposure of equities and at the same time protecting oneself from inflation times tend to invest in balanced funds.
