  1. dear Sureshji, I have never come across such wonderful and well studied article. Hats off to your brilliancy. Please notify me of any such articles if written in future.
    Thanks
    Kumar.

  2. Hi Sureshji, Currently i have canara robeco large cap, parag parikh flexi and quant mid and small cap SIP investment of 5000 in each per month. SIP in single fund in single category is correct approach or do i need to have 2 funds in each category. Any other category of mutual fund do i need to consider rather investing 5000 for single fund in each category to get diversification and high returns in long term?

    1. Hello Savio, You can have one more fund in international category. You may look for MO NASDAQ 100 FoF and MO S&P 500 fund. I personally invest 2 funds from each category. Underperformance by one fund should not impact our portfolio, hence this precaution.

  3. Hello sir ,
    May i know why Tata Digital India Fund is not mentioned , it has higher returns , lower expense ratio. Also all the funds are similar in nature (technology related) , could you please provide some diversification options as well.

    Regards,
    Amit

    1. This post is about mutual funds that gave over 12% returns continously every year. Regd Tata digital fund, here is the performance
      2021 – 74% good
      2020 – 55% good
      2019 – 7.4% (failed in our test)
      2018 – 19% – Good
      2017 – minus 6%

      Now you know why I filtered out this fund (2019 low returns + 2017 minus returns)
