Bandhan Hybrid Equity Fund - Direct Plan
An open ended hybrid scheme investing predominantly in equity and equity related instruments
What is the Meaning of Hybrid Funds?
Hybrid funds offer a balance between adventure and stability, combining high-growth potential equities with relatively stable debt instruments. This blend provides the potential for growth while offering relatively steady returns, making it a versatile option for navigating market fluctuations.
Hybrid mutual funds invest in multiple asset classes, allowing investors to benefit from diversification and reduce concentration risk.
Equity hybrid funds, also called aggressive hybrid funds, primarily invest in equity and equity-related securities, with some exposure to debt instruments to help reduce risk. This strategy allows investors to diversify their portfolios and access multiple asset classes. While diversification can help mitigate risk, equity hybrid funds aim to help investors create potential wealth over the long term.
Equity hybrid funds are required to invest 65% to 80% of their assets in equities, with the remainder in debt instruments. Since they primarily invest in equities, they are vulnerable to market volatility and are classified as high-risk investments.
Hybrid equity funds are taxed like equity funds. Gains on units held for over a year are taxed at 10% for amounts above ₹1 lakh under LTCG. Units held for less than a year are subject to STCG at 15%.

Who Should Invest in Equity Hybrid Funds?
Equity hybrid funds allocate 65% to 80% of their assets to equities, with the remainder in debt instruments to reduce concentration risk. While debt instruments are less volatile, the equity exposure makes these funds vulnerable to market fluctuations.
Equity hybrid mutual funds may be ideal for investors seeking long-term wealth creation opportunities, but they may not suit those with short-term goals or looking for tax-saving investments.
FAQs on Equity Hybrid Funds
What does Equity Hybrid Mutual Funds mean?
Equity Hybrid Funds are also known as aggressive hybrid funds. This is a type of hybrid investment scheme which invests 65% to 80% of their assets in equity and equity-related securities. The remaining securities are invested in debt instruments. This allows investors to diversify their assets and potentially reduce risk.
Are Equity Hybrid Funds good?
Equity Hybrid Mutual Funds are suitable for investors with a high risk appetite, seeking long-term wealth creation. As they invest in equity and equity-related securities, they may not be suitable for risk-averse investors. However, they may be relatively less risky than pure equity funds as diversification may potentially mitigate risk.
What are the disadvantages of Equity Hybrid Funds?
Equity Hybrid Funds are taxed like equity funds. Units over ₹1 lakh held over 3 years are subject to LTCG tax at 10%. Units held for less than 3 years are subject to STCG at 15%. Moreover, equity hybrid funds are vulnerable to market fluctuations and are categorised as a high-risk fund.
Why invest in Hybrid Funds?
Hybrid Funds in mutual funds may be suitable for investors seeking diversification of their assets. All hybrid funds are mandated to invest in at least 2 asset classes. This diversification may potentially reduce risk. Moreover, hybrid funds are suitable for long-term wealth creation.
What is the difference between an Equity Hybrid Fund and Balanced Fund?
Balanced Funds and Equity Hybrid Funds are both a type of hybrid mutual fund. Balanced funds invest 40%-60% of their total assets in equity and debt instruments. Equity hybrid funds, also known as aggressive hybrid funds, invest 65%-80% in equity and equity-related instruments. The remaining assets are invested in debt instruments. While both these funds allow for diversification of assets, balanced funds may be less vulnerable to market volatility and more suitable for risk-averse investors.
