Hi, May I know your investment objective(s) and time-frame? SBI emerging fund has not been a great performer over the last few years, if we compare the fund returns to Mid-cap fund category returns.

Hi, If your investment horizon is around 5 years, you may consider investing in Large cap & Balanced funds for the next 3 to 4 years, and move to safer investment avenues as the goal year approaches.
