This expansion comes at a time when the benchmark Nifty has gone through a yearlong correction and periods of heightened volatility, pushing many investors to seek stability through blended portfolios.

Also, the investor base expanded significantly, with the number of folios increasing by 4 lakh over the past year to 60.44 lakh by October 2025 from 56.41 lakh in October 2024, the latest data with the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) showed.

This trend highlights the growing appeal of a balanced investment approach that combines growth and stability.

In line with this growing interest, aggressive hybrid funds, an investment solution blending equity and debt exposures, delivered robust returns over different timeframes.

On average, the category has generated returns of nearly 7 per cent over the past year, 16.5 per cent over two years, and more than 17 per cent over five years, industry data showed.
