I have SBI mutual fund Equity. Debt fund and Blue chip. Returns are appreciation is not good for Debt and Blue chip. Your advice

Ans:

Ans: SBI Large and Midcap Fund is a good fund in the category and can be held on to in case you wish to have exposure to this category. But please remember that this category of Large and Midcap Fund will always have at least 35% exposure to midcap stocks which makes it in a higher risk grade. If you wish to continue with the fund, do note the degree of risk you are taking and whether you are comfortable with it.

ICICI Pru Technology Fund is a good fund in the Tech Fund category. However, I do not recommend anybody to have exposure to any sectoral category fund since any sectoral category is typically cyclical in nature. It is always better to have a diversified fund – in case a particular theme or category is likely to do well in times to come, a good fund will anyway add it in the portfolio and hold it there as long as that sector or theme is relevant.

Ans: SBI Blue chip fund invests in large-cap (top 100 companies) stocks and it is known for investing in well-established companies with stable growth potential. The performance of the fund is at par and the fundamentals of the fund are also good. Consider continuing with the fund

SBI Large & Midcap fund invests in both large-cap and mid-cap stocks. Mid-cap stocks generally have higher growth potential but may also be subject to increased volatility. If you have a higher risk tolerance and believe in the growth prospects of mid-cap companies, you might consider continuing with this investment. However, please be aware that mid-cap funds can be more volatile than large-cap funds.

Invesco Infrastructure fund works on a specific theme which focuses on investing in infrastructure-related companies and it is suitable for investors with a higher risk appetite and a long-term investment horizon. If you have a high-risk tolerance and a positive outlook on the infrastructure sector, you may consider continuing with this investment.

Coming to your query regarding an equity-oriented fund for two year time horizon. We do not recommend to investment in pure equity funds if your investment horizon is of less than 3 years. As the equity markets are volatile, every fund requires at least a 3 years’ horizon to stabilize in the portfolio. However, if you still wish to invest you can go for a hybrid fund or index fund.
