As the market is volatile prefer to go through MF in stocks (SIP) for atleast 3 yrs time horizon. ...

Dear Ritul,

It is Expected that Large Cap Oriented Funds will Perform Better in Next 1-2 years.

Continue SIP in Following

HDFC Top 200
DSPML Top 100
ICICI Infra.

Discontinue SIP in Following

Reliance GROWTH
SBI Magnum CONTRA
HDFC Prudence

Start Fresh SIP in any 2-3 of Following

Kotak-30
Sundaram Select Focus
DWS Alpha Equity Fund
DSPML Equity

If you want Midcap Fund, IDFC Premier Equity is BEST Option, otherwise IDFC Imperial Equity is GOOD Option.

No need to Invest in Reliance Growth/ RSF Equity in Current Scenario.

You may Invest in Reliance Growth / RSF Equity after 1 year by SIP.

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 arinshare

Your investment in HDFC Equity, HDFC Equity and ICICI Pru Infra is ok, but I wont recommend further investment in Rel Vision just to average out the cost. If a fund itself is not performing there is no point in investing just to average out the cost. After all you have other better alternatives to invest.

Top 5 MFs to invest in Current Market

Posted by : arinshare

Today (Sensex 10527.85, fall 800.51)on 10th Oct 2008 I have invested in HDFC Equity Rs. 2000 and ICICI pru Infrastructure Rs. 700 through their websites in order to have lowering average value. Am I wrong for investment in this scenario? If fall continues, my next target to invest in HDFC TOP 200 and Reliance Vision just to lower average cost. Since I started invested in all these funds in 2007 through SIP when sensex was at peak. Comments are solicited.

Dear All

The avg return of Equity Diversified funds for last 1 yr is -35.09%( yes it is -35.09%, you read it right, as on 08.10.08, source VROL). But even for a longer time horizon of 3 yrs, the avg return of Eq Div Funds are only 6.3 % ( as on 08.10.08, source VROL). So a bank FD for over 3 yr period ( even post tax returns)certainly scores over Equity Div Fund in this case.And in case if u had invested in Franklin India Prima Fund 3 yrs ago ur return would have been -4.19%( remember Fr India Prima was one of the most recommended fund among mid cap segment 3 yrs ago). This is why I always suggest people to invest in Eq Funds for more than 5 yrs horizon.For 2-3 yrs horizon, better to go for FMP or even bank FDs to keep things simpler.

Here are the 3 yrs avg return for various categorys as on 08.10.08

Hybrid: Equity-oriented 6.89
Equity: Diversified 6.30
Equity: Tax Planning 4.01
Equity: FMCG 3.21
Equity: Pharma 1.84
Equity: Technology -2.46
Equity: Auto -8.10

I have read that Liquid funds are subject to capital risk, though practically it has never happened till date.
Do you think in the current situations where many financial institutions are going bust, it is possible that liquid fund NAVs go negative?
Please advise!!!

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
