Balanced funds, also known as hybrid funds, split their investments between stocks and bonds. This mix provides both growth and income, making them less volatile than pure equity funds. They offer a blend of capital appreciation from stocks and income from bonds, which helps balance risk. Balanced funds are great for investors seeking moderate growth with some level of safety. They suit investors with medium-term goals who want a balanced approach.
