    1. Hello sir,

      Vidya here. Yes, you may if you are looking for a low-risk strategy, with returns close to the index. On the other hand, if youa re looking at valuations cum market movements, you can also look at funds such as IDFC Dynamic Equity, once the open for on-going subscription after NFO (reopens today I believe).

  2. very welcome sir, we are eagerly waitng your analysis reports on all matters.it is heartening to see whether VIDYA and YOU will see eye to eye in all matters.

  3. Hello Sir,
    I want to know whether the annual returns quoted by many top MFs are really 36%, 22% or like that..? I mean, does an investor get income or appreciation (or both) to the extent of 36% or 22% on his/her invetment..?

    I am a new investor and these rates look quite higher. Just wanted to know they are not misleading.
    Would you please guide on the same..?

    Thanks!

    1. Hi JP

      In Short run, some funds may give 100% positive returns or 40 % negative returns also. You need to see the compounded annualised returns(CAGR) of that fund over the last 5 years, 10 years, etc. Always look for consistency, don’t chase the top performers. Our select funds list will help you to choose the ideal funds for long term. In long run, we can only expect 12-15% annualised returns from the diversified equity fund.
