Is it right time to invest in Mutual funds or stocks

#1
HI All ,

I am an NRI in the UK . Keen on investing in the indian stock market but not sure if its the right time to make my SIP investment in mutual fund considering the sensex is at 17.5 level .

Also confused which mutual fund to invest in to make a beginning if at all now is the right time , considering my horizon is 5 years. Was looking at franklin India blue chip , icici pru focussed equity , DSP BR Top 100 . Please suggest and advise.

Many Thanks,
ARM
