Question

Planning to invest in DSPML TIGER Reg or ICICI Pru infrastructure (G) mutual fund through SIP for 3 years. Is it a good one.which one is better?

Answer 1

Go for Reliance Growth Fund

Answer 2

Since both are thematic funds amongst them DSPML TIGER is better.

SIP should be minimum of 3 years upto 5 years.

Answer 3

Infrastructure stocks are on a decline now in the market.  Leaders in this segment are getting beaten down heavily.  So it is better to avoid the Infrastructure sector and move on to some other prospective sector.

Of late IT stocks have been rallying.  So you can consider any mututal  funds based on this sector.

Answer 4

Yes It is very good.

But be sure that you will be invested for minimum 3 years.

SIP can be for any period( 6 mo/12 mo/24mo)

Answer 5

ICICI prudential Infra is a good fund for investment if your investment horizon is atleast   years. The fund has a good track record. With respect to DSPML Tiger - No comments as of now.

good luck !!

Answer 6

sudhir,

Your selection is good except one problem. ICICI Infra and DSP ML TIGER, both are well performing fund. But, both of these falling under thematic fund with the same line. It is better to have any one of this and have an quity fund instead of other to balance and diversify your portfolio. Selecting both thematic fund is just like putting all your eggs to one basket. Don't give space for an error to your portfolio.

for your information, below are the best and top rated diversified equity funds. Have a research and select one along with one of your mentioed thematic fund.

SBI Magnum Contra

DSP Merry Lynch Equity

Kotak Opportunites

DSP ML top 100 (Largcap bases)

Birla Frontline Equity (Largcap based)

Sundaram Select focus (Largecap Based)

DSP Opportunities fund

Best advice is, select one thematic and select one from the groups of large cap based or diversified.

Does this make sense ?

Answer 7

yes ICICI Pru Infrastructure fund is one of the best in its segment. looking at the long term for 3-5 my recomendation would be to invest 25% in ICICI Pru, 25% in DSP ML TIGER fund, 25% in Tata Infrastructure and 25% in any Balanced Fund to diversify ur risk.
