Hi, All the four of your MF schemes fall under Mid-cap oriented fund category.  Advisable to invest across different fund categories. May I know your investment objective(s) and time-frame?

Objective is good/high returns and preserve the capitals . I can wait for long time and time frame is 5 to 10 Years. Not for Tax savings.

Hi, You may diversify your portfolio, can consider adding one diversified equity fund, retain one mid-cap out of the four (Franklin prima / HDFC Mid-cap) and one Equity oriented balanced fund.

You mean, close rest 3 and keep only one ?  Shall I keep all these and start new one as u suggested (Diversify) ?. Please suggest Shall I go for ICICI Prudential Value Discovery Fund ?

Hi, You may check the portfolio overlap and take decision. Too many funds from same fund category may not be really beneficial. You may add ICICI fund.
