Axis Mutual Fund has announced the launch of the Axis Multi-Asset Active Fund of Fund, an open-ended scheme designed to provide investors a single gateway to diversified exposure across equities, debt, gold and silver. The New Fund Offer (NFO) will be open from November 21 to December 5, 2025.
Positioned as a one-stop solution for multi-asset allocation, the fund will dynamically adjust exposures across asset classes and themes based on a quantitative model supported by an internal investment committee. The scheme aims to balance long-term growth with risk management by factoring in valuations, macro indicators, market trends, and commodity outlook, while also incorporating qualitative elements such as geopolitical developments.
The FoF structure, Axis AMC said, allows broader access to multiple strategies, reduces dependence on a single fund manager style, and enables swift rebalancing without immediate tax implications for investors. The fund will invest in units of equity- and debt-oriented mutual fund schemes along with commodity-based ETFs.
Commenting on the launch, B. Gopkumar, MD & CEO, Axis AMC, said the product is aimed at investors seeking simplified diversification. “Axis Multi-Asset Active FoF is a one-stop solution for investors seeking diversification without the complexity of managing multiple products… helping navigate market cycles while reducing volatility and enhancing risk-adjusted returns,” he said.
Ashish Gupta, CIO, Axis AMC, added that asset allocation remains the foundation of long-term investing. “With a disciplined, model-driven approach, we aim to capture opportunities across equity, debt and commodities while managing risk effectively,” he noted.
The fund’s benchmark comprises the NIFTY 500 TRI (45%), NIFTY Composite Debt Index (45%), domestic price of physical gold (5%), and domestic price of physical silver (5%). Minimum investment starts at ₹100, with an exit load of 1% on redemptions beyond the 10% limit if withdrawn within 12 months.
Axis AMC said the launch comes at a time of heightened market volatility, elevated equity valuations, stable debt market conditions, and rising geopolitical uncertainties that have boosted demand for safe-haven commodities. The fund is recommended for investors with a minimum two-year horizon.
