NYLI Balanced Fund Class A is a diversified mutual fund designed to provide investors with total return by blending capital appreciation and income. As a balanced fund, it typically allocates approximately 60% of its assets to equities and 40% to fixed-income securities, aligning with the 'moderate allocation' category. The equity selection process focuses on a core value strategy driven by fundamental, bottom-up analysis, while the fixed income component employs a duration-neutral, relative value approach to identify interest-generating opportunities. The fund is managed by seasoned teams specializing independently in stocks and bonds, ensuring expertise across both asset classes. NYLI Balanced Fund Class A appeals to investors seeking a single investment that balances growth and income, and its diversified structure aims to moderate volatility compared to equity-only funds. The fund regularly distributes income quarterly and maintains a broad portfolio across multiple sectors, with a significant portion invested in U.S. securities.
