    Dear Waris, thanks for the confidence shown in your own investent. Please do not question your own choices every now and then. Relax. Any market linked product can not perform in a straight upward line. it ‘ll be a multiple curves line but over all direction ‘ll upward. 🙂

    Thanks

    Dear Waris, based upon this data from VROL, the Canara fund is performing OK.

    Is the fund really underperforming ?

  6. ashalanshu says:

    Dear Waris, the fund in question is not performing so you want to switch. As you are switching due to non performance of the fund, whole money should be redeemed at once and invested in a single shot in the next target fund.

    Thanks

    is it ok to switch or not.

  12. ashalanshu says:

    Dear Waris, whart is the guarantee that IPru ‘ll keep performing and Canara ‘ll keep underperforming? Even if you want to switch, please invest in direct plan of the fund in question.

    Thanks

    Dear Ashal,
    He says ICICI pru balanced is performing better than Canara balanced.I have an online account with Canara robeco but they dont have SIP facility . we can only do single transaction at a time.

  14. ashalanshu says:

    Dear Waris, why the agent is saying so? Why are you not investing direclty now?

    thanks

    Ashal
