How equity-heavy investors can start using hybrid mutual funds in 2026

How equity-heavy investors can start using hybrid mutual funds in 2026

For someone holding an all-equity portfolio with high risk appetite, a gradual shift into aggressive hybrid funds can add stability. Allocating 20–30% to select aggressive hybrid schemes and keeping 70–80% in diversified equity funds can balance drawdowns while still participating in potential upside.
