One good diversified equity fund that many have ignored is Tata Pure Equity. It is large cap oriented. Performs about the average in a rising market and protects the downside well. On the whole it does not give great returns but it is the least volatile.

Another fund similar to tata pure equity is fidelity equity. Though tata pure equity has proved less volatile than its peers for over a longer period of time. It will be good to have it as a core holding

Hi ,

I had recently invested in few MF around January 2008 , but after that the markets crashed and all my investments are showing –ve returns.


This is what I have in my portfolio

HDFC Long Term (G) 1500 units
Reliance Natural resources 2000 units
UTI infra advantage 1500 units



I am planning to invest Rs 50000 in different MFS and also want to start SIP in few MF monthly upto 8thousand Rs.

My goal is to get atleast 15% return on my investment ( for 60 % of my total investment ) and

more return on the remaining 40% (for which I am ready to take risk compared to first part.)

I will not need this money for next 5 years


Please give me suggestions..

Thanks

Hi Friends
Would it not be a good idea to also enlist those MFs which are totally useless and a money drainer. This way we can help others to avoid investing in such funds. I suggest we provide the reasons as well.

To start with

Avoid :
AIG INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMIC REFORM FUND REGULAR- GROWTH

Reasons:
Agreed that infrastructure stocks are no longer the hot stocks. However compare this fund with HDFC Infrastructure fund growth plan which also started nearly the same time and invest only in Infrastructure.
While the NAV of HDFC is 8.05 , the NAV of AIG is 6.68

Besides this has an entry load as well.

Better to avoid this fund .

Avoid any new fund

avoid MUTUAL FUNDS altogether. Buy nifty-bees (niftybeeseq) instead on every fall.

I've been thinking along the same lines but ...

There does not appear to be that much trading / volumes in NIFTYBEES (and many other ETFs).

Also, one must be clear that one is buying at a price that may not always be in synch with the Nifty 50.

One day, I looked at the NIFTYBEES versus the Nifty 50 (on NSE's site) and, though there was a correlation, at one point there was a clear divergence. This emphasises that the traded price at any time does not necessarily follow the index.

I'm not sure if I've expressed myself clearly
