It is good to visit your portfolio time and again to see best performing funds / stocks and act accordingly to the non-performing funds. This time I have offloaded some non-performing mutual funds which gives me list of best performing mutual funds for me which I am excited to share.
It is not possible to invest in all the available mutual funds but with whatever subset of mutual fund you invest into it is good to visit your portfolio time and again to see best performing funds / stocks and act accordingly to the non-performing funds.
Recently I have offloaded some non-performing mutual funds which gives me a list of best performing mutual funds for me which I am excited to share here.
* Third column suggest category of fund & ValueResearchOnline ranking and fourth column is recommendation of ICICIDirect.com for the fund.
I am sure you have invested in quite a few mutual funds and not all of them perform the same this is quite a good time to re-look at your portfolio and offloading some.
Do share your performing mutual funds in comments so that we can grow more on our list of funds and invest wisely.
Dear Sir,
While doing searching for a suitable blog/site, fond this.
Now , the question:-
I have just prematurely retired.Have some funds to invest.Presently parked in bank FD for monthly/qtly interest for staedy income. But like to invest some for better income– advise whether shares,if so what and how, and MFs if so what and how much ?
Raju, I am not a financial planner and so cannot suggest you better ways to create wealth but what I do is play in equity markets for good gains. I am not sure if it is for you or not.
Also I don’t like to tell people which MFs and shares they should invest into but I prefer teaching people how to find such stocks.
thanks
Hi Shabbir,
Nice Blog!! its but obvious.
I have wasted 1 year without investing anything.Now i am like a raging Indian Bull dying to crash into the market and play safe at the same time.So want to follow the SIP route.
Can you please highlight some good funds(equity) to invest(4000 to invest monthly/multiple funds).
Also what should be my method of investing.
1.Going to fund houses one by one or
2.Using ICICI Direct, if yes do i need to go through a KYC process also.
Because i am currently deputed in some other place,away from my present address. So in short where can i start investing in mutual funds completely online without any haasle of proving myself through ID ards n address proofs.
Long queries!!! pardon Me….
Thanx in advance.
God Bless

Hi Shabbir,
Thanks for your encouraging words! But what I would like to know is whether I should redeem any of my old investments which are not doing well like DSP TIGER ,SBI Contra,Reiance vision etc. or should I let them grow.I don’t have any need for funds in near future.So ,can you suggest some new investment funds for me.Also,should I go for lumpsum or SIP since market is touching low these days.Please reply as per your convenience.
Thanks again in advance for taking time out to reply !
Regards,
Snehal
You should not be redeeming your performing funds but yes switching the non performing funds is what you should always do.
Hi Shabbir,
Kudos for bringing up such an informatve site! Being a techie,providing financial aspects in such simple manner is really great! Luckily I stumbled upon your blog & it has really enlightened me in many ways ! Keep up the good work!
I had done some MF investments from idle funds in 2007 which I never bothered to check after big fall of stock market! Most of that have done OK so far & I have realized my mistake of not keeping track of it. I am correcting my mistakes now.Henceforth,I plan to invest regularly through SIP.I have some idle funds(2-3 lac)which I need to invest in equity MFs for long period.I plan for good retirement kitty around 15 years from now.My risk appetite is high.So can you suggest some good MF options for me to invest in?Also,since market is touching low now;do you feel I can invest lumpsum or as suggested by some experts invest in liquid debt funds & do SWP/STPs through them.What is the best approach ? I am listing my old investment as under.Currently I have only 1 SIP of HDFC Top 200 for 2k going on.Please suggest investment plan & please keep up the good work of making investment simpler!
My current investments:
HDFC EQUITY FUND -GROWTH

Snehal, thanks for the feedback and I am sure SIP will help you a lot but I must say you have some investment in some great funds and though you missed the investment down market you are better than many others who have lost from 2007
Hi,
I am looking for investment for my daughter who has just turned 1 year old.
I am looking at a horizon of 15-20 years.
From what I understand ( & I am a doctor, so no financial background) it makes sense to invest in a good mutual fund SIP and not worry about the same.
I believe that 1-2 MF should be more than sufficient.
Which ones out of the above mentioned list would you recommend?
Do you agree with my line of thinking?
Dr Gupta
PS: Just stumbled upon your website .. I am lovin’ it 🙂
Yes I agree with you and SIP is best way for your daughter. I have similar things done for my kids in DSP Blackrock Small and midcap fund. I prefer to use my wife’s account for their investment because my account sees lot of churning and I don’t want to be touching investment for them.
PS: Great to see you stumbled upon my blog 😀
Thanks Shabbir. How do I understand the tredns and the dips. Can you please help.
Regards
Piyush
Invest small amount and observe how fund drops in NAV when market corrects. That will help you understand when you should add to your investments.
Thanks Shabbir,
If liquidating is not a requirement for next 3 years, what will be your take.
Regards
Piyush
Piyush, I would watch them for the trends from now on and start investing in dips.
Hi Shabbir,
Very nice site. Looked at the ebook. Would it be good to invest in all the 9 funds (adding the various a and b options make it to around 13-14 funds) by putting smaller sums in each one of them. Or will be it be putting eggs in too many baskets.
Best Regards
Piyush
Piyush, It all depends on your requirement to liquidate your investment. I would suggest if not all some would be good.
Shabbir, what is your idea on the just concluded NFO DSP BR FOCUS 25 Fund? What risk appetite could look at taking a bet in this Fund?
Mirza, I prefer not to invest in NFO’s and there is no reason to do that as well.
Hi Shabir,
Just a quick question, as I am new to this MF piece need your help in understanding if I have made the right investments. I have recently invested in the following —
Birla Sun Life Mid Cap A Fund (G)
ICICI Prudential Discovery (G)
Franklin Pharma (G)
DSPBR Small and Mid Cap Reg (G)
Would it be worthwhile to keep it for a period of 5 years….?
Looking forward to your reply… Thnx!
Ankan, I would say not bad but cannot predict such a long predictions but yes looks good now.
The main objective of my listed funds is i like to invest around 1 lac which is sitting idle in my bank, so i have decided to invest amount into these funds.
Nice but the funds you should do investment into should not be the ones we find useful but it should the funds which you think will help you.
Mirza,
I guess ur potfolio of MF’s is too lengthy.. Guess u stick on to 5-6 diversified funds which shld be the best.
Rgds
