The time horizon of my investment is between three-to-four years and I have a moderate risk appetite. I have exhausted the benefits accruable under Section 80C and want to know whether I can invest in an equity-linked savings scheme (ELSS) even if tax benefits are not a consideration? I feel that some of these schemes are tried and tested and hence, more reliable than an entirely new fund.
