Hi, Do you have any existing Mutual funds in your portfolio? Why would you like to invest in so many funds?

Hi, The shortlisted ones (7 funds) are good ones. But, investing in too many funds within a fund category may not be beneficial.  For ex: In mid-cap category, you may just consider Mirae Asset emerging fund and ignore other two funds.

THANK YOU SIR . FOR LARGE CAP AND DIVERSIFIED FUND WHAT SHOULD BE THE BEST ONES AMONG MY SELECTED FUNDS ACCORDING TO YOU? SIR, I NEED ANOTHER SUGGESTION FROM YOUR END.ACTUALLY MY UTI MID CAP (SIP) FUND INVESTMENT WILL COMPLETE ONE YEAR IN COMING APRIL, 2017 AND I WANT TO CLOSE IT. NOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO? AS PER MY KNOWLEDGE I HAVE TO FILL UP A CANCELLATION FORM. BUT TO AVOID THE EXIT LOAD SHOULD I REDEEM THE FUND AFTER APRIL,2018? WHAT IS YOUR OPINION SHOULD I REDEEM IN THIS APRIL (DEDUCTING EXIT LOAD) AND INVEST IN OTHER FUND OR WAIT FOR THE APRIL OF 2018?

Hi, Birla Frontline equity fund (large cap) & Quantum LTE, both are decent choices. If you are planning to invest in a tax saving fund ,you may do in your existing DSP tax saver fund. The mentioned diversified funds are all good ones. Also, most of the ELSS funds typically are Mutli-cap funds. So, you may analyze their portfolios overlap and take decision.
