Pls give your evaluation views on the INVESCO SMALL CAP NFO – whether I should invest or no in this fund as lumpsum for 2 years?
This is small cap fund. Currently there is huge downside for midcap and smallcap funds, hence one should look to invest in such funds for 8-10 yeas. Since your horizon is 2 years, don’t go for such funds
Hi Suresh,
What are your thoughts on Hawkins Cooker FD scheme which is offering whopping 10.75% for 3 years deposit. Is it too risky or a good bet to invest? Thank you.
