Top 5 MFs to invest in Current Market

Dear pfquery

DSPML TIGER is a thematic/sectoral fund and one should avoid investing in such funds because if the sector is out of favour, your investment can erode very sharply. As you must be feeling now since infrastucture theme is out of favour, infrastructure based funds have been one of the biggest loser this year.

It`s better you stop further SIP in this fund and start new SIP in DSPML Top 100, a conservative large cap fund.

As far Fraklin India Prima Plus is concerned, it is a consistent perfomer and you can remain invested.

Dear dr sundeep, the long term fundamental & investment prospects of Rel. Gr. Fund r same as of Indian Economy. If u r positive on Indian Economy for next 8-10 & even more years, this fund should be in ur portfolio & if u think that SKY IS GOING TO FALL WITHIN A DAY OR TWO, Rel. Gr. is not a fund for u. Being a midcap oriented fund, its performance `ll be in slump under current market conditions but as & when the situation improves, so `ll its performance.

Thanks

how one should buy credit card on which basis ?...

10 Oct 2008 12:14

Dear mayekar, From ur chosen funds,

Large Cap - HDFC Top 200 & DSP ML Top 100
Mid cap - Rel. Growth
Multical - SBI Contra
Balanced - HDFC Prudence
Sectoral - IPru Infra

All the funds chosen by u r proven performers over long duration in their respective category. No need to panic. Continue investment in the same.
1. Going for more aggressive fund under large cap category `ll be a personal call.
2. Sitting on Large amount of cash, has helped RRSF to contain the fall better but at the same time, it is a dangerous sign also. The reason is U & me or any other investors r investing in RRSF for Eq. returns & not the returns generated by money market instruments by sitting on cash. If sitting on the cash is going to protect our downslide, it `ll be better to have our money in our own hands.
3. Yes RRSF `ll dilute the large cap bias of ur portfolio.
4. Plz. note for past some time, only the name of SBI is contra, otherwise the portfolio of this funds is more like an aggressive multicap fund. So again it `ll be personal choice between an aggressive fund SBI contra & a conservative fund DSP ML Eq.

Thanks

re: my portfolio

Posted by : Mayekar

Dear Seniors/

I am having following portfolio of SIP MF

1. HDFC top 200
2 DSPML top 100
3 Reliance growth
4. Magnum Contra
5. HDFC prudence
6. Pru icici infrastructure

i am doing EQUAL amount SIP on multiple dates.

DSPML top 100 and magnum contra have replaced HDFC equity and Reliance vision( i stopped my sip in them after 2 yrs)

goal is to continue SIP for 3 more years .

following are my questions:

1. Should i chose a more aggressive large cap like sundaram select focus or K-30 instead of DSPML top 100 since i am already having a conservative large cap like HDFC top 200 in my portfolio

2 There is a strong temptation to chose Reliance regular savings equity fund instead of DSPML top 100 or another large cap. Reason being Reliance RSF has done better, as a fund it is still sitting on larger amounts of cash( so it can do better than others in coming period)

3 IF i chose reliance RSF i am afraid i will not have a large capo bias in my portfolio ( rel growth, Magnum contra, and Pru icici infr are not neccecarily large cap fund). Am i correct in assuming that i may not have a large cap bias by choosing relaince RSF instead of DSPML top 100

4.Ideally it would be better to have a multicap fund like DSPML equity in the portfolio . Instead i have chosen a contra fund like magnum contra. DSPML equity can still be added but then it will affect the balance of the portfolio. Pls comment

Seniors, pls guide
thank you

Dear 250778, In the article, SWP stand for systematic withdraw plan.

Under SWP, u first invest a lump sum in any MF scheme & at the time of joining the scheme, also fill the SWP form for withdraw of money on a predefined interval (every week, every month, 3 months or 6 months). the SWP may be in money terms say 10K Rs. or 20K Rs. or in Units terms, say 100 or 500 units redemption on every SWP interval.

I hope the above info `ll be useful to u.

Thanks

Dear friend, if u r buying the proposed property for self consumption, go for it right now. If it is for investment purpose, u should wait, as the current economic slump all around the globe, sooner or later `ll force the builders to reduce the prices.

Thanks

Thank you very much. I am certain that I read the news in an Indian news paper in the net. As I was suddenly obliged to attend a call, I allowed my colleauge to use the PC and hence could not save it.

I am a retired LIC official and a student of actuary. Hence I am interested in the news item. As I am in US, I am unable to get the help from others.

Please try and I shall also post the news if I find it.
Thank you for your reply.
