Choice of SBI MF's (5 Lakhs), your recommendations

[harisubram]

Hello,

Would an investment of 5L (spread out between the below funds),
be a good choice ?

Magnum COMMA, Magnum Contra, Magnum Global ,
Magnum MultiCap and Magnum Taxgain.

Since NRI's cannot invest via ICICDirect & HDFC, and I am outside
India, I've opted for SBI MF.

Do you have any other recommendations (Online Investing for NRI's) !


Thanks for replying

NRIs can invest via ICICIDirect.

There facilities in HDFC bank online investment in specified mutual funds, also online investment in ICICI-Pru funds is allowed.
Regarding online trading, non-US based NRI can use HDFCdirect.
Hope the above information helpful.

Hello,

Thanks for your replies.
What are your recommendations as for Growth Mutual Funds.

Would an investment of 5 Lakhs (spread out between Magnum COMMA,
Magnum Contra, Magnum Global , Magnum MultiCap & Magnum Taxgain),
be a good choice ?

"HDFC Securities" & "nri@icicidirect.com" did clearly reply last month
that NRI's from US cannot purchase MF online (since they do not have
the compliance with the authorities)

Hence I decided to go with SBI (where I can fax them the forms).


Thanks
