All Tax Saving Mutual funds are not same !!!
This post targets those who already know ELSS or Taxsaver mutual funds. But many people do not know that not all ELSS are same.
They might know that Tax saver funds are Diversified equity Mutual funds , yes they are !!! . But still they can be differentiated in the catagory of :
- Aggressive Tax savers : These are the ELSS who bet more on small cap and mid cap stock, and hence have more return potential.
- Safe and balanced Tax savers : they heavely bet on Large Companies , which are more safe then mid cap or small cap stocks.
A person who want to invest in ELSS shall not put money in just 1 ELSS , but 2-3 different ELSS. Again Putting all money in same type of ELSS is not good , as they will be of same portfolio type ( i mean more stake in Huge companies and less in Mid and Small cap)
Rather , they shall put money in ELSS both types.
Let us see some top performing Mutual funds and there catagory:
Aggressive ELSS:
1. Birla Equity Plan – D
2. DSPML Tax Saver -G
3. Principal Personal Tax Saver
Safe ELSS
1. HDFC Taxsaver
2. HDFC Long Term Advantage
3. SBI Magnum Taxgain
