  1. Thanks for the list.
    I am new to the MF investments and recently started investing. Entrepreneur by heart so like to take moderate to high risks.
    I have invested in Invesco India Contra fund. what’s your view on it compared to above funds ?
    Also, I am planning to add one more fund for SIP. which one should I go with to diversify investments. (Plan is to invest at least 3-5 years)

    1. Hello Devdatta, Invesco India Contra Fund invests based on value investing. It is basically value mutual fund. It is good fund, you can continue to invest. Regd second query, investing in mutual funds for 3-5 years is not advisable. You can invest in atleast 5 years in balanced funds like HDFC Hybrid equity fund or ICICI Equity and Debt fund.

    8. L&T business cycle
    9. Tata PE fund
    10. Icici value discovery
    11. Uti transportation & logistics
    12. Reliance banking

    Suresh ji, please let me know whether is should exit any funds/switch to different funds??
    Profit currently is not so good (approx 5-6% average)

    Your suggestions will help me

    1. Hello Abhishek, Funds in your portfolio are good. However the portfolio concentration is high on midcap/smallcap/sector funds. This is high risk high return portfolio. Unless you are high risk investor, you should exit few of them and add large cap of diversified portfolio.

  3. Thanks Suresh for this. I am investing in canara robeco emerging and mirae bluechip
    .it would really be great if you could share good funds from other categories too
