What Is a Balanced Fund? (SIE and Series 7 Exam)
A balanced fund is a type of mutual fund that holds a mix of stocks and bonds in a fixed allocation — typically around 60% equity and 40% fixed income. It is designed for investors who want growth with less volatility than a pure equity fund. Balanced funds appear regularly on Series 7 suitability questions.
