Reconsider your portfolio holdings at least once a year
11-Jan-2011 •Research Desk
My portfolio has HDFC-Top 200 SIP, HDFC Tax Saver, Prudence SIP, Reliance - Natural Resource SIP, BSLTax Saver, Fidelity Equity SIP. I intended to invest in two more SIPs. Which funds do you recommend? Also, are tax saver funds still a good option compared to PPFs, FDs?
