  1. Hi Sir,

    I am actively following your blogs on mutual funds. I have investments in below mutual funds via SIP from last 4 years. My investment horizon is 10 years.
    I have also invested some amount of money in debt area PPF/FD.

    Below is investment in funds under SIP of 3,000 per month
    Large Cap
    * ICICI Prudential Focused Blue Chip Equity Growth (Large Cap) (3 star)
    * SBI Blue Chip Fund Direct Growth (Large Cap) (3 star)
    Large and Mid Cap
    * Mirae Asset Emerging Blue Chip Direct Growth (Large and Mid Cap) (5 star)
    Mid Cap
    * HDFC Mid Cap Opportunities Fund Direct Growth (Mid Cap) (3 star)
    Balanced Fund
    * HDFC Hybrid Equity Fund Direct Growth (before HDFC Balanced Fund) (Balanced Fund) (3 star)
    Small Cap
    * Franklin Temptation Smaller Companies Direct Growth (Small Cap) (2 star)

    I see that most of the above Funds are not performing well from past 2 years and are rated now as 2 out of 5 or 3 out of 5 except for Mirae Asset Emerging Blue Chip Fund.

    Can you suggest what action to be taken?

    Should I stop SIPs of above funds and start investing 3,000 in below new Funds in SIP which is doing consistently good in last 3 years?

    Large Cap
    * AXIS Blue Chip Fund Direct Growth (Large Cap) (5 star)
    * HDFC Index Fund Sensex Plan-Direct-Growth (Large Cap) (5 star)

    Multi Cap
    * Parag Parikh Long Term Equity Fund (now called as Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund) (Multi Cap) (5 star)

    Mid Cap
    * AXIS Mid Cap Fund Direct Growth (Mid Cap) (5 star)

    Small Cap
    * AXIS Small Cap Fund Direct Growth (Small Cap) (5 star)

    ELSS
    * Mirae Asset Tax Saver Fund Direct Growth (ELSS) (5 star)

    1. Hello Amit, All the funds you indicated in section-1 where you are investing are good funds. Yes some funds would tend to give lower returns in some market cycles. I would recommend you to continue. Second section-2 funds are top performing funds in various market cycles. If you want to shift from section -1 to section-2 funds, you can go ahead
