Fund Review:

Taurus MIP Advantage is another offering after Religare MIP Plus providing a blend of equity, debt and gold into the same fund. This fund has a mandate of having atleast 5% of gold in its portfolio at all times which can go upto a maximum of 25%. Investments in gold will be done through gold ETFs. A minimum of 5% of gold would give the fund a good diversification and stability due to the low correlation gold shares with other asset classes. Investments into this fund are recommended for clients looking for regular income and are investing for ultra long term, say more than 5 years. Greater stability in income can be expected from this fund as the fund manager has the freedom to go into 0% equity and can boost up gold allocation upto 25% at times of turbulence.
