- Best Infrastructure Funds
- Best Tax Saving Funds
- Best Technology Funds of 2009?
- Best Rated HDFC Funds
- Best Midcap Funds
Do let me know in comments below what other best categorization of mutual funds you will love to read and I will be more than happy to compile it for you?

Thanks for your prompt advice.
So, Shabbir, do you find my choice of sectoral funds fine ? Beacuse my financial advisor is against these funds; logic is these are extremely high risk funds, volatile funds. I am 29, married with 1 yr kid.
Examples :
Canara Robeco Infrastructure Fund Infrastructure Fund
ICICI PRUDENTIAL TECHNOLOGY FUND- GROWTH Technology Fund
RELIANCE PHARMA FUND- GROWTH Pharmaceuticals
Reliance Gold ETF Gold
AIG World Gold Fund (G) Gold
My personal conviction, though baseless, tells me that pharma, tech, gold & infra sectors would grow reasonably well in short & mid-term.
Thoughts…..?
Shabbir Bhimani says
Rahul, I think at the age of 29 and with very long term view, you should be having some risky funds as well. This is my personal nature and at 32, married and 2 kids I have no investment whatsoever.

Hi Shabbir,

Rahul, thanks for blog feedback. Really appreciate.
Now about your question about the list of funds I would not have IDFC and SBI Midcap but use the best midcap fund in the category which is DSPBR. See http://shabbir.in/best-midcap-funds/

Funds and bonds are different things.

The link for Best MidCap funds is misplaced, it is wrongly linked to How To Select Best Mutual Funds.

Thanks for reporting and it is corrected now.
