Don't Overburden Your Portfolio

Too many equity funds can do more harm to your portfolio, few good performing funds would suffice

My monthly SIPs are in HDFC Top 200 (Rs 3,000), Tata Dividend Yield (Rs 3,000), Tata Pure Equity (Rs 2,000), Quantum Long Term Equity (Rs 2,000) and ICICI Prudential Infrastructure (Rs 2,000). I want to invest an additional SIP of Rs 2,000/month. Could you suggest a fund? I would like to know of some good ELSS recommendations.

Good fund selection. However, you already are investing in five funds and would like to invest in an equity linked savings scheme (ELSS) too. Why do you want to consider an additional equity fund? If you still want to go ahead, consider a large cap fund.
In response to the question put forth by Vivek Singh in this section itself, you will find six ELSS recommendations.
