Hello Suresh Sir,
I really enjoy reading your every articles and they are really very useful.
I have one question:
I am thinking to invest in ULIP (TATA AIA Fortune Pro – Income fund and Midcap fund).
Could you please advise how is this plan and shall I invest in this plan ?
I am planning for 10-15 years of long term investment.
I am also planning to invest for 5 years if you could suggest me something for that ?
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks.
Hi Jalpesh, This is not mutual fund. This is ULIP fund. It has various charges i.e. premium allocation charges, mortality charges, fund management fees etc., Any reason you want to invest for ULIP instead of Mutual Fund. One can choose ULIP provided these are available at zero or low premium allocatoin charges
Thanks for providing the list based on ranking.

Hi Suresh,
Please suggest about UTI ETF regular fund. Is it worthwhile to invest in this fund? If yes, then what is minimum and maximum amount limit to invest monthly. Alternatively, will it be beneficial to invest lumpsum amount in this scheme.
Your valuable suggestion is much appreciated.
There is no such fund with the name specified by you. Pls provide complete name
Thanks for replying.
I got to know UTI S&P BSE Sensex Next 50 ETF – Regular Plan) this fund from an article. Hope this helps.
i have done SIP in SBI Blueship fund, but i want to switch to AXIS bluechip fund, i have done analysis and compared but i could not take final decision.
kinldy suggest. which is best fund , Axis blue chip fund or AXIS bluechip fund
Or you suggest for longer term ( 15-20 yrs) which is best large cap fund.?
Both are good funds. Alternatively you can invest in any other fund indicated in this article.
My top ten list of largecap funds will start with the index funds with low cost and low standard deviation because the actively managed funds will struggle to generate any alpha as we move forward.
Fantastic job..I read your all articles and update myself knowing some gr8 investment ideas….I am inspired from your blog and want to know how can I create a good blog like you..?
Thank you Rahul
