"Every investor while investing wishes to maximize his returns while minimizing his risk. Asset Allocation and Superior scheme selection are time tested proven ways for doing the same. But time and again it has been proved that, for an investor to manage his asset allocation and select superior schemes is extremely tough and difficult to execute due to operational and behavioral reasons."
What is a MARS or NJ MARS?
Mutual Funds Automated Re-balancing System (MARS)
NJ MARS (Mutual Funds Automated Re-balancing System) manages asset allocation of your portfolio in line with the market movement based on solid NJ research (increases equity exposure when markets are low and decreases exposure when markets are high). This helps in capturing the upside in the market while protecting the downside. Also, your money is invested in consistently performing schemes, shortlisted based on NJ research. The non performing schemes, if any, in the portfolio, are replaced with better schemes on an annual basis.
Why should you INVEST in MARS?
-
It gives clients access to a range of well diversified portfolios to choose from.

There are two broad sets of asset allocation portfolios A) Dynamic Asset Allocation: The asset allocation between equity and debt would vary depending on the valuations of the equity markets; higher the valuation, lower will be the allocation into equities and vice versa. B) Fixed Asset Allocation: The asset allocation between equity and debt will be kept fixed.
