    Tata Equity P/E Fund Gr :- 10000
    Tata India Consumer Fund Gr :- 10000
    SBI Magnum Global Fund – Gr :-6000

    Should i change the funds or its good for long term horizon of 5 year.

    Please guide.

    Regards,
    Mohit

    1. Good funds Mohit except Tata consumer fund is theme fund which is high risk. Unless you are high risk taker and willing to monitor such theme regularly, you should avoid investing in such funds.

  2. Hi Sir,
    I have started investing from last year and below is my sip details :-

    birla sun frontline equity fund :- 3200
    Mirae Asset Emerging Blue-chip Fund :-3100
    SBI Blue chip Fund :- 3100
    L&T India Value Fund (G) :- 3100

    I am planning to continue for the same funds for 15 years , please review and any inputs you can provide that would help me. I am planning to invest another 12500 from next year , can you please suggest i should do SIP or PPF.

    Regards,
    Mohit

  3. Hi Suresh,
    Apart from Mirae Asset Bluechip fund, I have also invested in Principal Emerging Bluechip Fund from September last year. I am getting negative returns in this fund, is it fine to continue? as on market today.

    1. Hello Umesh, The reason we have excluded this list from Top Blue chip funds recommendation is while its medium to long term performance is good, recent stock market volatile, this fund was under performer. One need to observe performance even during such time, hence as of now we have not considered them. Since you have already investing, you can continue. This would have figured in our top 10 list anyways.

  4. Nice article . I am more or less aligned with your points . Recently BQ conducted a similar review with CRISIL executive in an interview and more or less we had same list of funds which got shown up then as well .
    My follow on query can you also please throw some light on top 10 stock selection among these funds . reason i sometimes i get confused when all MF have HDFC Bank , RIL , KOtak , Maruti ,HDFC , M&M …etc . So why at all go for these funds for these established names and pay around 2% TER .Instead we ourselves can invest in these stock right

    1. Thank you Raghav. I have seen that most of largecap / bluechip funds invest in BSE 30 / NIFTY50 stocks. Second filter they bet on banking and financial sector and Auto sectors, hence invest heavily on this. You and me cannot track the stock prices daily and buy and sell the stocks. Hence let fund manager do that for us. That is how mutual fund schemes are designed. If you have free time and willing to do your own analysis, you can create a portfolio and do it. However, I felt this process is little painful unless you are just investing and forgetting them for next 8-10 years.

  5. Hi Sir,
    Thank you for sharing info.please include expense ratio & since launch returns also.I will help for us. Thanks for understanding me sir.
