Dear Jothilingam, May I know your investment objective(s)? Have you already invested in any MF scheme(s)? Any specific reason for shortlisting a 'Dividend' plan? Do you need a periodic income from these investments?

Dear Reddy, Thanks for your reply. Yes, i already have different MFs mostly equity based.  My main objective is just investment, no urgent requirement for next 4 to 5 years. Reason for one Dividend fund - No specific reason, but, i planned to utilize the dividend amount for existing SIP which i would like to increase the SIP value.. Regards K Jothilingam

Dear Jothilingam, If your investment objective is to accumulate wealth, you may kindly avoid opting Dividend plan. For an investment horizon of around 4 years, advisable not to pick small/mid cap funds. You may be better off to stick to Hybrid and/or Debt funds itself. Related articles :
