Canara Robeco unveils multi asset allocation fund to tap dynamic market opportunities

Canara Robeco Mutual Fund has launched the Canara Robeco Multi Asset Allocation Fund, an open-ended scheme that aims to balance risk and reward through strategic investments across equity, debt, and precious metal ETFs. The New Fund Offer (NFO) opens on May 9, 2025, and closes on May 23, 2025, with the scheme reopening on or before June 6, 2025. Designed for long-term investors seeking diversification, the fund will allocate 65–80% to equities, 10–25% to Gold and Silver ETFs, and 10–25% to debt and money market instruments, with flexibility to invest in REITs and InvITs. The strategy includes active asset rebalancing in response to market and economic trends.

“The fund empowers investors to build resilient portfolios aligned with their financial goals,” said Rajnish Narula, CEO, Canara Robeco AMC. Head of Equities Shridatta Bhandwaldar added that the fund aims to deliver consistent returns with lower volatility by leveraging a blend of growth assets and defensive instruments.

Where investors are increasingly seeking inflation-hedged and diversified investment options, market response to the launch has been positive. Financial advisors noted rising interest in multi-asset products, especially amid market unpredictability and the demand for stable, long-term solutions. The fund will be benchmarked against a custom index combining equity, debt, and commodity performance.
