Capitalmind Launches Multi-Asset Allocation Fund NFO

Capitalmind Mutual Fund has introduced a new open-ended scheme, the Capitalmind Multi Asset Allocation Fund. This fund is designed to invest across three distinct asset classes, Equity, Debt, and Commodities, to generate long-term capital appreciation while managing portfolio volatility.

NFO Period: February 23, 2026 – March 9, 2026

Here is a detailed breakdown of the fund's investment philosophy, asset allocation strategy, and key features.

What is the Investment Strategy of the Fund

The core premise of this fund is that different asset classes perform differently depending on the economic environment. Since it is difficult to predict which asset will perform best in a given year, holding a diversified mix can provide stability.

Based on the fund's framework, assets react differently to economic triggers:

• During High Growth (Demand Boom): Equities and Base Metals typically perform well.
• During High Inflation: Commodities (Precious Metals and Fossil Fuels) often act as a hedge.
• During recession or Deflation: Fixed Income (Bonds) generally provides stability and positive returns.

By allocating capital across all three, the fund aims to create a robust portfolio that can navigate various market phases, from growth cycles to liquidity crunches.

What is the Asset Allocation Strategy

The fund manages its portfolio using three primary components. The allocation is dynamic, meaning the fund manager can adjust the weights based on market conditions within the following limits:

1. Equities (35% - 80% Allocation)

• Role: To generate long-term growth (harvesting equity premiums).
• Strategy: The fund uses a quantitative model to select stocks. It filters the investment universe to find liquid and resilient companies.
• Focus: The portfolio will have a bias towards Large and Mid-cap stocks.
• Optimisation: The strategy is designed to keep portfolio turnover low, which helps in reducing transaction costs.

2. Commodities (10% - 55% Allocation)

• Role: To provide diversification and protect against inflation or supply-side shocks.
• Strategy: Unlike many funds that invest primarily in Gold and Silver, this fund invests in a broader basket of commodities using ETFs and Exchange Traded Commodity Derivatives (ETCDs).
• The Basket Includes:
  • Precious Metals: Gold and Silver (driven by central bank reserves and safe-haven demand).
  • Energy: Crude Oil and Natural Gas (driven by geopolitical events and transport needs).
  • Base Metals: Copper, Aluminum, Zinc, and Nickel (driven by industrial usage like EVs, batteries, and infrastructure).

3. Fixed Income (10% - 55% Allocation)

• Role: To cushion the portfolio against volatility when riskier assets (like stocks) fluctuate.
• Strategy: The fund prioritises safety and liquidity. It invests in Sovereign (Government) Securities and Top-Rated Corporate Bonds.
• Management: The fund manager adjusts the duration of the bonds to balance yield (interest income) and interest rate risk.
