The auto-switch facility provides additional flexibility for investors to manage their portfolio allocation between equity-oriented mid-cap funds and lower-risk overnight/arbitrage funds. This is a positive development for SAMCO Mutual Fund investors but has no broader market implications. The facility enhances the BSE StAR MF platform’s functionality for systematic investment and portfolio rebalancing strategies.
