Multi-asset funds: Weary of volatility? Multi-asset funds could be a good bet

Synopsis

First-time investors looking for a single fund that combines multiple asset classes – equity, gold and fixed income – and that reduces volatility in returns can consider multi asset funds. This category of funds are less volatile than pure equity funds and financial planners believe this combination of negative and less-correlated asset classes reduces portfolio risk and helps beat volatility.
