Performance of existing Dividend Yield Mutual Funds
Let us look at the performance of existing dividend yield funds in India. Returns more than 1 year are annualised. What you see in Table-1 (annualised returns) Vs Table-2 (simple yearly returns) would be completely different. These dividend yield funds would keep delivering good returns every 3 years (e.g. 2014, 2017 and then in 2020).

Should you invest in Tata Dividend Yield Fund NFO?
Tata Dividend Yield Fund is the new fund offer that invests in dividend yielding stocks. Such MFs pick up stocks majorly from the blue chip category which are considered relatively better investment options. If you observe, these funds keep delivering good returns at every 3rd year with underperformance in 1st and 2nd year. This category of funds has mixed performance and generated 3% to 16% annualised returns in the last 5 years. I would recommend avoiding such funds as of now. Alternatively, one can invest in largecap mutual funds or flexicap mutual funds that can deliver better returns.

Hi
I have been following your blog since 10 years and we have interacted many times in comments section. You are doing fabulous job and I keep reading your blog’s even now. Just wanted small help. Could you please give your views on Edelweiss US TECHNOLOGY EQUITY FOF. It was launched a year ago and is doing pretty well. It invests in us technology companies like Netflix, amazon, Tesla etc. Around 1100+ cr aum. Just wanted to know your views on this fund.
This fund was launched over 1 year back. It has shown good performance in last 1 year and technology sector is ever green. If you are high risk investor, you can invest. Alternatively, instead of testing with such short tenure funds, you can even try for funds that performed well in medium to long term.
On a lighter note, I am running this blog in the last 9 year and there is no way you can follow our blog for 10 years 🙂
Thank you for prompt. I guess I miscalculated 1 year 🙂
I am already holding motilal Oswal s&p 500, motilal Oswal Nasdaq 100 and icici us blue chip. Is it fine if I can add this fund- Edelweiss us technology as well? My exposure to international funds is 15% and can consider increasing a bit more since I am willing to take risk.
No problem. Since you are holding other two international funds, this would be like duplicate. You can go and increase your portfolio in existing international funds.
