Basant Ji,

can you please suggest some good MF schemes in which i can enter through SIP or through one time investment.Also wanted to understand your views whether one time investment in MF is better or SIP.considering direct application.

The pecking order keeps changing but HDFC Top 200 and HDFC Equity are good long term bets but they are large cap focused and will mimic the index!

HDFC Prudence, SBI Magnum Contra and Reliance Vision are some good ones. Preference for 1st two.

The most important quality for an investor is temperament,not intellect.A temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd nor against it

One can invest in mutual funds and create wealth. However over long time period, individual stocks would provide better returns. One can select common stocks (exception HUL, infrastructure/contracting companies etc.) which are commonly discussed and maintain buy & hold approach. I started investing in mutual funds in Feb-2008 and also started buying stocks around March-2008. I find, my stocks portfolio has given 80% + returns (this includes my sell-off of half the protfolio before election results in May-09) while mutual funds are at 25% gains. It is based on buying on dips from Feb-08 to April-09. I stopped buying both mf & stocks in April-09. After getting feel of market for more than 18 months, I feel stocks will always outperform MFs. I know one friend, he has made 100 baggers in last 10 years, just by buying & holding.

It will be difficult to identify a stock as multibagger. But we can do well by just buying a company which will be there for next 7-8 years.

Emerging companies, based on different themes, could always give exceptional returns. Hower chances of losing capital will also remain.

Answer:

Agree with Basantji on the choice of HDFC Top 200 and /or HDFC Equity as both are consistent performers over the last 3-5 years.

Other than these, you can definitely look at DSP Blackrock Top 100 fund as they have been performing phenomenally well inspite of last year.

However, all these are large cap schemes and will mimic the index.

Depending on your time period of investment, you can even look at mid cap schemes - IDFC Premier Equity, Birla Sunlife Midcap Eq. Both of them have shown tremendous consistency in performance.

SIP's are definitely a good way to invest considering the current run up. You can look at an investment into corresponding liq funds from the various fund houses and do a switch into equities through a Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) into equities.

Happy investing.

Birla Sun life Mid cap fund.
