Investment Strategy

ICICI Prudential Multi-Asset Fund follows a counter-cyclical approach, which means it does the opposite of what most investors do. When markets are running high, the fund reduces exposure. When markets are down and valuations are attractive, it increases exposure.

This helps the fund buy low and sell high. What also works in its favour is its ability to diversify across asset classes, like equity, debt, gold, and more. This reduces the risk of being hit by any single market event and helps smooth returns over time.
