UTI Multi Asset Allocation Fund (UTI MAAF) follows a model guided asset allocation strategy that dynamically manages allocation across equity, Gold and fixed income. This approach brings discipline in asset allocation based on relative attractiveness of an asset class and overcomes emotional biases associated with Investing. The fund endeavors to deliver portfolio diversification across asset classes and aim to generate better risk-adjusted returns across market cycles.
UTI Multi Asset Allocation Fund invests across equity (net long exposure: 40%-80%), gold (10%-25%) and fixed income (10-25%) driven by an in-house proprietary asset allocation model guided by fundamental and valuation-based factors that determines the net equity allocation for the fund and allocation to gold is based on relative performance of Gold as compared to Equity gauged by Gold/Equity (G/E) Ratio trend.
The fund shall take exposure to arbitrage (long stock, short futures) to manage gross equity exposures at 65% (to maintain Equity status of the fund) of total portfolio. The balance portfolio will be invested in the gold etf and fixed income securities.
The UTI MAAF Model determine the allocation of Equity and Gold.
For equity allocation the model assesses four factors that have been proven for having correlation with the market forward returns to determine the net equity allocation. These factors are:
- Valuation based factors: Have negative correlation with market forward returns
a) 1Y Forward Price to Earnings (PE) Ratio – Higher the P/E ratios, lower the equity allocation
b) TTM* Price to Book (PB) Ratio – Higher the P/B ratios, lower the equity allocation
- Yield based factors: Have positive correlation with market forward returns
a) TTM* Dividend Yield – Higher the dividend yield, higher the equity allocation
b) Yield Gap – Yield gap is difference of Equity Yield (1/1 year Forward Nifty 50 P/E Ratio) and Bond Yield (10-year GSEC Yield). Higher the yield gap relative to history, higher the equity allocation
*TTM – Trailing 12 months
For gold allocation the model assesses the Gold/Equity (G/E) Ratio which is based on historical trends. When G/E Ratio is below mean, the allocation to Gold is Higher and vice versa.
The Residual Allocation goes to fixed income through exposure in high rated Fixed Income & money market instruments.
Though the asset allocation in the scheme shall be managed dynamically, the endeavor will be to maintain at least 65% of the total portfolio of the fund in domestic equity & equity related instruments (based on annual average of the monthly averages of opening and closing figures) to attract equity taxation benefits as per prevailing tax laws.
