Choosing A Fund

A large-cap fund is more stable than a large- and mid-cap fund because of its investment mandate…

I want to know which among DSPBR Top 100, Franklin India Bluechip and UTI Opportunities is the best?- K Dutta

All the three funds that you mention are highly rated and have a proven track record and performance history. Your investment in mutual funds should be based on your investment need and how a fund can help you achieve your financial goal. A large-cap fund has more than 80 per cent of assets in large-cap companies over the past three years compared to large- and mid-cap funds that have 60-80 per cent of assets in large-cap companies over the past three years. This makes large-cap funds more stable in comparison to large- and mid-cap funds. Based on your risk taking ability you can invest in any of these three funds, but remember that a fund that performs well today may not be the best performer forever. It is thus important to track the performance of funds that you invest in to assess its progress.
