Are these any risks involved?


These are sector based funds, hence are high risk. However if you observe, this risk is mostly when you want to get out of such schemes within short term. In long run of 5 to 10 years, you would get superior returns. If you do not need money in short term to medium term, you should invest some of your portfolio in these best sector based funds for 2017. If you can get good returns in medium term, you can always sell them and book profits.

What about FMCG and IT Sectors?


Last year, I recommended FMCG + IT Sector funds (2 funds). While FMCG is expected to grow in medium to long term, due to demonetization, in short term we may see margins pressure and under performance. If you have already invested, hold your investment. IT sector on other hand, we are have seen change in US Govt and H1B visa restrictions coming in. This would pressure on business for Indian IT Stocks. Hence even these stocks are expected to take beating in coming months. If you have invested in IT Funds, take a pause for fresh investments. You can hold your earlier investments.
