The Convergence Foundation and India Impact Sherpas Release a First-of-its-kind Report on Systems Change in the Indian Context

New Delhi, Delhi, India  The Convergence Foundation, in collaboration with India Impact Sherpas, released their seminal report titled, ‘Systemic Impact Exemplars: Unique Approaches Towards Solving India’s Development Challenges.’ This report aims to identify and learn from organizations that have achieved significant impact by adopting the systems change approach.

These organizations-System Support Organisations (SSOs)-work in close collaboration with governments at the Centre as well as State levels, to create impact at a large scale. In addition to working with the governments and aiming for impact at the population scale, systems change involves solving the problem at the root cause; no quick fixes or band-aid solutions.

The Central and State Governments in India already spend a lot on social and economic development. In 2022-23, the cumulative social expenditure by the Central and State Governments amounted to Rs. 21.03 lakh crore, according to the Reserve Bank of India. However, despite substantial investments by the Indian government, there is still potential for accelerating progress towards achieving India’s development goals. More SSOs need to work with governments to provide technical and programmatic support for population-level impact. With this report, The Convergence Foundation and India Impact Sherpas aim to offer an actionable framework on how SSOs can work with governments to create outsized impact.

The report profiles 20 of India’s leading SSOs, shedding light on their innovative strategies and impactful initiatives. By showcasing real-world examples, the report seeks to inspire and inform other nonprofits, providing valuable insights into what works in the Indian context.

At the launch event, Vini Mahajan, Secretary, of the Department of Drinking Water & Sanitation, Ministry of Jal Shakti, commended the work and contributions of the 20 organizations profiled in the report. “Nonprofit organizations that have adopted the system change approach by implementing scalable pilots and working meaningfully with governments can contribute to large-scale change,” she said.

Ashish Dhawan, Founder and CEO of The Convergence Foundation, emphasized the importance of systems change in addressing the country’s complex challenges. He said, “The systems change approach is a pivotal idea that has the highest potential for transformation. We conceptualized this report to identify and learn from leading Indian organizations that have adopted systems change to inspire and inform other social purpose organizations by building evidence on what works in the Indian context.”

Highlighting the criticality of adequate financial resources to take on the country’s sticky challenges, Hari Menon, Director, India Country Office, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said that “Systems change, anchored by government and supported by partners, holds the potential to deliver long-term transformation, enhancing the efficiency of development programs and creating lasting impacts on people’s lives. Achieving such change, however, takes time and will require philanthropists and other funders to provide committed support for organizations partnering with the government on systems change over an extended period of time.”

The report comprehensively examines various systems change practices, including

• Creating demand and alignment for change
• Grounding the Theory of Change in data, evidence, and research
• Informing the design and implementation of policy
• Designing and demonstrating scalable solutions
• Investing in population-scale platforms
• Strengthening institutional capacity in government
• Building partner networks for scale
• Creating viable markets for the underprivileged.

Each of these practices is explored in depth, providing valuable insights for organizations seeking to drive systemic impact and create meaningful change in India’s development landscape. The report serves as a comprehensive knowledge resource, intended to shape thinking on systems change. It outlines frameworks for how social purpose organizations can adopt it, and offers models on how SSOs can create disproportionate impact.

Understanding the Difference: Multi-Asset Allocation Funds Vs Balanced Advantage Funds

Pune, Maharashtra, India  Investing in mutual funds has become increasingly popular due to their potential to generate wealth over time. Among the various options available, two types of funds often catch the attention of investors: multi-asset allocation funds and balanced advantage funds. While both aim to provide diversification and manage risk, they have distinct characteristics that set them apart. Let’s understand the differences between these two investment avenues.

Multi-Asset Allocation Funds

• Multi-asset allocation funds are hybrid mutual funds designed to invest in a mix of different asset classes such as equities, bonds, and commodities. The allocation to each asset class can vary based on market conditions and the fund manager’s strategy. The primary objective is to achieve diversification across various asset classes, thereby reducing the overall risk of the portfolio.
• One of the key benefits of multi-asset allocation funds is their ability to adapt to changing market conditions. For instance, during periods of economic uncertainty, the fund manager may increase the allocation to defensive assets like bonds or gold to mitigate potential losses. Conversely, in bullish market phases, they may tilt the portfolio towards equities to capitalize on growth opportunities.
• Another advantage of these funds is that they offer convenience for investors who may not have the time or expertise to manage a diversified portfolio on their own. By investing in a single fund, they gain exposure to multiple asset classes without the need for active monitoring.
• It’s essential for investors to understand that multi-asset allocation funds are not immune to market fluctuations. While diversification helps spread risk, it does not guarantee protection against losses, especially during extreme market downturns.

Balanced Advantage Funds

• Balanced advantage funds, also known as dynamic asset allocation funds, follow a slightly different approach. These funds dynamically adjust their asset allocation based on predefined valuation metrics or market indicators. The goal is to capitalize on opportunities while managing downside risk.
• Unlike multi-asset allocation funds, which maintain a relatively constant asset mix, balanced advantage funds have the flexibility to vary their equity exposure based on market conditions. For example, if stock valuations appear expensive, the fund may reduce its equity allocation and increase exposure to debt instruments. Conversely, when stocks are attractively priced, the equity allocation may be higher.
• The dynamic nature of balanced advantage funds makes them well-suited for investors who seek to participate in equity markets’ potential upside while having some downside protection. By actively managing asset allocation, these funds aim to deliver returns across various market cycles.
• However, it’s important to note that the success of balanced advantage funds largely depends on the fund manager’s ability to accurately assess market conditions and make timely asset allocation decisions. Moreover, frequent portfolio adjustments may lead to higher transaction costs, which can impact overall returns.

Key Differences
Approach to Asset Allocation: Multi-asset allocation funds seek to maintain allocation to different asset classes within a specified range, whereas balanced advantage funds dynamically adjust their allocation based on market conditions from time to time.

Risk Management: While both types of funds aim to manage risk through diversification, balanced advantage funds often employ tactical asset allocation strategies to minimize downside risk.

Investor Profile: Multi-asset allocation funds are suitable for investors seeking a diversified portfolio with a long-term investment horizon, while balanced advantage funds may appeal to those looking for a more flexible approach to asset allocation with active risk management.

In conclusion, both multi-asset allocation funds and balanced advantage funds offer investors opportunities to diversify their portfolios and manage risk effectively. The choice between the two depends on individual investment objectives, risk tolerance, and market outlook. By understanding the differences between these two types of funds, investors can make informed decisions that align with their financial goals. Investors can consider investing in these funds through lumpsum or SIP route, basis their preference.
