Investment philosophy or strategy

Canara Robeco Monthly Income Plan is a hybrid investment in that 10% to 25% of its assets are invested in equities and equity related instruments while the remaining is invested in debt and money market instruments to provide a regular monthly income to investors (provided distributable surplus is available). This fund can be a safer option given its exposure to debt instruments in volatile markets. The debt allocation provides regular income while the equity allocation boosts returns of this fund.
