Next thing you know..some NFO may feature some college kid with male pattern baldness on the backdrop of Gandhiji & have a tagline Wink

Often we forget there's a company behind every stock,and there's only one reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies.

If you want your money to be allocated towards advertisements and brokerage please do invest in such NFO's!

Why invest in HDFC Mutual Fund,invest in HDFC bank rather as Basantji mentioned...

This is the best time for fund managers as many foreign AMCs are setting up shop in India...JP Morgan,AIG..If i m not wrong Zamura too is looking to set up shop here!

HDFC Midcap opportunity advertisement is so good, I have stopped asking people not to invest in this NFO.

I will be tracking foreign AMCs like AIG/JP Morgan closely. It would be interesting to see their investment style.

Well for long time I don't like NFOs but there is a point now. NFO is perfect hedge to one's existing personal portfolio. AIG is good candidate as they hired Tushar Pradhan from HDFC AMC. He has been a star performer.

Pls don't forget to ask your MF agent to return part of commission to you.

That's Unethical Vipul....If one is convinced enough to invest in a NFO, then he should let the agent also make money. Usska bhi ghar parivar hain!
