Hi Suresh,
I would like to know if I invest in MF or Shares, would I receive returns on quarterly basis?
I have opened trading and demat account from HDFC securities and HDFC bank for MF.
Can you also advise me on which MF to go with HDFC and shares?
I am not into SIP.
I would also like to know about MF's which are directly controlled by MF managers and shares also…
I am looking forward to invest very little amount of money for now, may be 1 – 2.5k/month or so.
Regards,
Amit Teli
Amit, Generaly investments into mutual funds or shares done to create wealth and not monthly or quarterly returns. However you may get dividend from shares which is not guaranteed. Similarly MIP Mutual funds would provide your regular returns, but not guaranteed. Hence treat them as growth purpose only. You can invest in large cap mutual funds like ICICI Pru focussed blue chip fund or Birla SL Frontline fund or Franklin India Blue chip fund etc. All mutual funds are controlled by respective MF Managers only. However you can invest directly by visiting their website or invest thru brokers like HDFC securities. You can invest as low as Rs 500 per scheme. Some kept a limit of Rs 1,000 in SIP.
Suresh,
I 've a question.. Whether this article needs revamp?? I could see this was written a year back and I doubt.. will it fit for the current time?? considering the value of the mentioned stocks.. If the article needs revamp, then suggest us with the best stocks for long-term.
Cheers.
Hi Krishna, These are some of the ideas an year back. The idea is these are good stocks, but you should look for stock price. If they are available at cheaper prices, you should grab them.
Its a very good article.But I have a query.I am a small investor who want to invest in stocks on SIP basis.I am willing to put 2k every month.But I dont know which stocks should I put my money.When market is falling every stock is looking attractive to buy.I want only blue chips.I have Nifty Bees also with me. Should I continue investing in Nifty Bees because i have too much confusion in stock selection.Kindly advise sir.
Nilesh, This is one of the tricky question to answer. I agree that during falling markets, every thing looks like a beautiful girl. We want to buy all stocks. I am writing an article about some winning stocks early next week, you can try them.
For the first time I came accross your site as I was trying to learn about the stock market. However, besides the above, if can guide more about making initial investment? What would be better investing in shares or mutual fund or both?
Thanks and regards.

Naveen, Good topic. My immediate answer is that Mutual funds would be a better option in comparing to overall features. But let me analyse both features, positivs and negatives and would revert next week with an article.
