Let's take a look at why value stocks are outperforming growth stocks in...
In 2013, hybrid mutual funds had record inflows of $73 billion (up from $47 billion in 2012) out of a total of $167 billion of investments into mutual funds. That’s nearly half, which showcases the fact that these types of mutual funds are gaining popularity amongst investors. To put it into perspective, as of 2013, hybrid funds had 8% of the $15 trillion U.S. mutual fund market.

The fund’s portfolio may be periodically rebalanced to bring the fund’s asset allocation more in line with prospectus objectives. They are created for investors looking for a balance between capital appreciation, safety, and income and hold a broad appeal because they provide a comfortable way of getting exposure to stocks.

Moreover, hybrid funds offer the benefits of both stocks and bonds. Many companies market their funds as complete portfolio solution and have names such as “balanced,” “income,” “growth” and target dates. Because of this, it’s very simple and convenient to gain exposure to both equities and bonds in one investment.
Another issue is that there can be too much “auto-pilot.” Fund managers, while professionals, are restricted in their allocations as stated in the fund prospectus. Because of this limitation, they can’t always react quickly to market conditions. For example, if the fund has a higher than average weighting in a stock and that stock has a major drop, it would take time to pull out and invest in a similar security.
Lastly, one size does not fit all. Hybrid funds give the best of both stocks and bonds, but if an investor is overly conservative, or overly aggressive in risk tolerance, a hybrid mutual fund may not be the most ideal investment.

What is often overlooked with hybrid mutual funds is they tend to reduce the temptation of selling losing investments and changing the portfolio to a more new and “hip” investment.
