In the hybrid category, driven by new fund offers (NFO) for the ‘balanced advantage fund’ SBI, the net entry flow surged into Rs 16,571 Crore.
The subsidiary of the largest SBI fund manager in India has collected more than Rs 14,500 Crore on the funds, the highest NFO collection by one scheme in India.

From the perspective of retail investors, in the short term, it might not be poor development considering the market market increase and Generally reducing the perception of the risk of balanced profit funds, “Somaiiyaa said.
