Suitability
Nobody should invest in Banking funds in our opinion, because:
- They have a narrow focus on only financial services companies
- Instead, diversified equity funds which invest across sectors are better

- Invest only through SIP
- Have a 7+ year investment horizon
- Be prepared to withstand interim sharp declines in investment value
