Top 5 Sector Mutual Funds to invest in 2016


These top 5 sector mutual funds in India have been analyzed and shortlisted based on below key parameters.

  • Picked based on highest returns received in the last 5 to 10 years across various sectors.
  • These funds invest only in specific sectors and are very high risk. One has to keep an eye on the sector and in case of any downturn in this sector, one should exit.
  • Ranked based on short term returns too. Since most of the funds gave negative returns in the last 1 years due to market volatility, we have picked-up the funds which were less downside compared to peers in the last 3 months to 1 year.
  • Since these are sector based funds, Crisil or Value Research Online would give less importance in ranking and they would avoid giving ranking for such funds.
  • AUMs (Assets under management) > 100 Crores. This proves investor confidence among these top mutual funds.

Are these any risks involved?


These are sector based funds, hence are high risk. However if you observe, this risk is mostly when you want to get out of such schemes within short term. In long run of 5 to 10 years, you would get superior returns. If you do not need money in short term to medium term, you should invest some of your portfolio in these sector based funds.

  4. Hi Suresh,

    Thanks for the great assistance on MF.I had asked this earlier in my comments, but would like to know, How tax and TDS calculated for NRI? Are we allowed to invest in any fund except PPF?

    It would be greatly helpful if you could elaborate on this context!

  5. As an NRI following your blog, you're doing a fabulous job. Have you started consultancy services yet?

    If someone has to invest in SBI Pharma and UTI Transportation and Logistics, how do we go about getting this done from abroad? All my other mutual funds are taken care of by my account manager at the bank but these funds don't fall under their radar for some reason.

    Thanks for whatever advice you can provide.

    1. hi sree,
      you may directly open the account/folio by visiting the fund house web site and may invest on-line in these MF directly. eg. if you want to SBI pharma fund, just go to sbimutual fund web portal, create a folio, online and can invest. for more you may contact to the customer care personnel of that MF portal.

      cheers!
