Asset Class Risk & History Breakdown

1. No to Low Risk (FD, RD, Debt Funds, Gold, etc.)

Designed for capital preservation and emergency reserves. These instruments provide guaranteed safety or low volatility, backed by secure banking structures or stable sovereign assets. They are built to safeguard principal against market downturns, though they typically offer modest real returns after inflation adjustments over extended cycles.

10-Yr Historic Avg6.0% - 7.5%
15-Yr Historic Avg6.5% - 7.2%
20-Yr Historic Avg7.0% - 7.5%

2. Low to Moderate Risk (Hybrid Funds, Multi-Asset Allocation)

Engineered for balanced growth by dynamically merging stable debt instruments with equities or commodities. They automatically rebalance asset weights depending on market conditions, cushioning sharp corrections while allowing capital to capture upside movements. Ideal for investors seeking intermediate risk exposure without direct equity shocks.

10-Yr Historic Avg10.0% - 11.5%
15-Yr Historic Avg10.5% - 12.0%
20-Yr Historic Avg11.0% - 12.5%

3. Moderate to High Risk (Flexi Cap, ETFs, Direct Equities, etc.)

Optimized for aggressive wealth creation over long-term compounding horizons. These allocations dive directly into corporate growth, market indexes, or multi-market cap equities. They experience substantial short-term volatility and swings, but historically outperform inflation and fixed options significantly when given 10+ years of uninterrupted tenure.

10-Yr Historic Avg13.0% - 15.5%
15-Yr Historic Avg13.5% - 16.0%
20-Yr Historic Avg14.0% - 16.5%
