Top 10 Mutual Funds from Large AMCs – Should you invest

  1. Suresh Sir , 
    Whats your opinion of SIP in L&T Emerging Business Fund. The portfolio of this fund seems to give high returns but on high risks. What do you suggest? 

  2. Hi Sureshji,

    I am been following you for last couple of years and a big fan of yours. I wanted your advice.

    I have been investing in ICICI Discovery fund since 2013 and have bee a bit surprised about its returns in the last one year. WHile any good Diversified fund has given an XIRR of 18-20% this fund has dissapointed me in last 1 year. The returns are quite bad and hardly 8.9% in the last 1 year. My problem is that almost 35% of my SIP/STP goes in this fund and I am quite worried since amount is large. On deep dive I found that Pharma & IT has a high concentration in this fund hence the returns are bad. I have the following questions for you.

    1. Should I stop my SIP/STP in this fund for the time being

    2. Should I reduce my invesmment and do not stop  and move to some other fund, a better Diversified fund.

    Thank you Sir.

    Vikram

    1. This fund is underperformer. However some funds would be like that due to its investment strategy. You can wait for some more period. Alternatively you can exit and invest in better funds

  3. want to invest in mirae emerging blue chip fund and dsp black rock micro cap fnd through sip. your advise please.
