The catch-22 every investor faces is in deciding the allocation to various asset classes, especially equities. Should one increase the allocation when equities are rising? Should one switch to debt when equities fall? And when emotions drive investments, one can be sure of missing out on the best days. On the other hand, no investor wants to lose out due to volatile markets, much less the cautious investor. So the big question is how to benefit from the growth potential of equities and yet maintain significantly lower volatility, together? Introducing the L&T Dynamic Equity Fund The fund uses an active strategy to manage market volatility by balancing its equity exposure. In typical asset allocation funds, the objective is to maintain broadly a fixed allocation between equity and debt. However what makes the L&T Dynamic Equity Fund a unique offering from our product suite, is that the fund could change its equity component based on a pre-defined model (refer to illustration 2). Such a strategy could help participate in the long term growth potential of equities but with significantly lower volatility. Asset allocation model The fund follows a dynamic model that allocates its assets across equity, equity arbitrage and debt instruments using the Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E) of the Nifty 50. P/E is a valuation tool which is widely used to gauge the investment attractiveness of the stock market. The fund increases net equity allocation when the P/E of the market is low and vice versa. Historically, it has been seen that this kind of strategy has helped deliver superior risk-adjusted returns over the long term. This can be observed in illustration 3. The P/E bands and corresponding equity allocation have been clearly defined as shown in illustration 2. 1.

Based on 15-year data from 31-Dec-00 to 31-Dec-15. 1/3/5 year return calculated at the end of each month. For asset allocation model calculation, the average of the upper and lower limit of equity allocation range for each P/E band is used; rebalancing is done at each month end. Volatility is calculated using month end data points. Equity allocation in the asset allocation model is assumed to be in Nifty 50 and rest is assumed to be invested in CRISIL-AMFI Liquid Fund Performance Index. Rebased to 1000.

4. Asset allocation based on this model for the past 15 years Investing decisions are often driven by emotions such as greed and fear. In the chart below, it can be seen that equity mutual funds have historically seen maximum gross inflows when the market is at or near its peak and vice versa. On the other hand, equity allocation in a P/E based asset allocation would have been quite low near market peaks and would increase when valuations are cheap as indicated.
