Question sent by S. Rupchand :-
I wanted to know about the following mutual fund schemes, as to whether they are ideal during turbulent times:
- Axis Long Term Equity Fund – Growth
- HDFC Balanced Fund – Growth
- Tata Balanced Fund – Growth
- Birla Sun Life Front Line Equity Fund – Growth
- UTI MNC Fund – Growth
- Birla Sun Life Dynamic Bond Fund – Growth
- HDFC Midcap Opportunities Fund Growth
- Franklin India Prima Fund Growth
Advice Given:
- From a standalone perspective the above mentioned mutual fund schemes are good.
- However to suggest an ideal scheme for turbulent times, is not the right way to look at mutual funds.
- In order to benefit from mutual funds, one should have a clarity in terms of his financial goals and the duration of investment.
- Generally it is observed that if one stays invested in equity mutual funds for a period of 10 to 15 years, then one can expect to earn a return between 12%-14% p.a.
