Some of the key features of ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund include:
Diverse fund offerings
An investor can choose from an array of ICICI Prudential Mutual Funds schemes based on his/her risk profile and investment horizon. Equity mutual funds are meant for investors who want growth, whereas debt funds are designed to help those with a conservative orientation and hybrid schemes can be suited to the requirements of investors who want a balance between both.
ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund also offers equity funds which are particularly meant for long-term wealth creation through investing in companies that have strong fundamental attributes. For example not only have funds such as ICICI Prudential Bluechip Fund and the ICICI Prudential Value Discovery Fund benefited from sound stock-picking strategies and are also among the top performers in their respective category.
Conversely, debt funds such as the ICICI Prudential Savings Fund and the Corporate Bond Fund of ICICI have always provided steady returns to their investors, which makes them more marketable to risk-averse investors looking for capital protection.
Risk management approach
Risk management is one of the most important aspects that differentiates ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund. The AMC follows an active asset allocation plan across its hybrid funds like the ICICI Prudential Balanced Advantage Fund. The fund aims to reduce risk with asset switching between equity and debt dynamically, thereby providing low volatility during a market downturn yet retaining the potential for growth.
This strategy of risk mitigation is what has earned ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund the trust of investors who wish to benefit from long-term gains but are averse to short-term market swings.
Technological integration and accessibility
ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund has introduced technology into its services to ease accessibility for investors. The company's mobile app and online portal allow investors to see their portfolios and track transactions as well as also get insights. This has completely changed the game for millennial and tech-savvy investors who like to stay on top of their investments online.
Investor education initiatives
ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund employs a comprehensive and committed approach to financial literacy. The AMC also conducts several investor education initiatives to educate people on the importance of financial planning, what SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans) can deliver and how they should approach different market cycles.
