FDs or Mutual funds?

Posted on 01:19 by Unknown


Purvesh asked :
Hi is investing in FDs or mutual funds a better idea in current market conditions a goof idea, if MF then which funds are safe to invest

SRIKANTH SHANKAR MATRUBAI replied :
Hi, purvesh,
If your outlook is short term of say below 6 months, then FDs are the best option for you, anything above 6 months, definetely you should consider Stock Markets seriously.
The ongoing volatility clearly shows that the stock selection, entry exit points are best left to experts, and who better than Mutual Fund Managers to manage our money. If you look at the recent history, almost all Funds are sitting on cash of above 30%, and in some cases, even 40%, which clearly shows that they had a feeling of this meltdown.
Of course, the meltdown was so savage that even the most intelligent Fund Manager would have been stumped.
But, still, my vote is go for Mutual funds through SIPs. Invest in good Diversified funds with Good track record. some of them you can consider for investing are
Birla sunlife Equity fund
DSP Equity fund
DWS Alpha Equity Fund
Fidelity Equity Fund
HDFC Prudence Fund
HDFC top 200 Fund
Kotak K 30 fund
Reliance Growth Fund
Sundaram Select Focus fund

Best of luck,
Srikanth Shankar Matrubai
