   i like to add some points, which may be a help:

   1. in addition to valueresearchonline.com, morningstar.co.in is a good site for mf. some different tools of analysing of thought of mf portfolio are available. one is i think, ‘x-ray’. by putting your thought of portfolio schemes %age allocation, you can have complete ‘x-ray’ of the portfolio.
   2. i concur with ramesh’s advice in total, and like to add that one should decide some benchmark of (one year and more period ) performance categorywise for getting no. of funds decreased , or induction of new fund. say 20-25% of the top performer of the category.
   3. i found that multicap diverfied mutual funds as a category and top performers for different period are performing better. this may be because the fund managers may have flexibility for selection .you may look them also.

   You add all your MF funds to Valueresearchonline site portfolio and see the analysis part. It will give you a some what details about ur investment.

   I think your investment would have lot of Largecap funds hence the returns would be mostly in line with the index.
   You may need to alter your funds so that you can hav enough (this you can decide upon your risk taking ability) of exposure to Mid cap and Small Cap they are the one which can provide the necessary kick for your returns.

   Note:
   Downside in have Mid and Small cap fund is that they will fall a lot during the downtrend .

   I would say, it is too diversified to be of any significant advantage.

   Keep 2 out of first 3.
   Either of next 2.

   Sectoral themes usually are not advisable, if you do not know how they work and how you should manipulate among them.

   Keep an international fund. <-- that is my opinion!! Ramesh

         Yes .. I think you should make sure you do not take the same kind of stuff in different avatars , actually even if you buy 2-3 funds , it will have the same kind of exposure in the stocks .Almost same

      Hi

      I will advise you to make a strong , stable core large cap portfolio before looking into midcap small cap funds or even a sectoral funds.

      Go for

      Franklin India Bluechip – 7000
      DSP BlackRock TOp 100 – 7000
      HDFC Equity – 7000
      UTI Dividend Yield – 7000
      Birla Sun Life Frontline Equity – 7000

      Avoid Sectoral or mid small cap funds for now……

      Thanks
      Salil Dhawan
