  3. Hi, I gone through some of your article its really very good, sort and to the point. I have one question in this article. As per above list if i choose diversified SIP for 1 year it gives me triple (3 times ) returns than 5 years.

    IS it better to invest for 1 year?

    1. Mukesh, Due to new govt and stock market boom, these funds have done better in last 1 year. You cannot expect this every year. Invets for long term and you would get such opportunities twice or thrice in 10 years.
