Top 10 Mutual Funds to Invest

Most new mutual fund investors ask this question while starting their investment journey. But do they get the list easily? Will the magic list make them rich? The answer is no. In most cases, that is.

For example, an online search would often take investors to many websites with ready-made lists. Most often, the schemes may be shortlisted on the basis of their short-term performance. Sometimes, schemes from a single category may dominate the list because that happens to be the flavor of the season.

Here is the list of top 10 schemes:

1. ICICI Prudential Equity & Debt Fund
2. Mirae Asset Hybrid Equity Fund
3. Axis Bluechip Fund
4. ICICI Prudential Bluechip Fund
5. L&T Midcap Fund
6. DSP Midcap Fund
7. L&T Emerging Businesses Fund
8. HDFC Small Cap Fund
9. Motilal Oswal Multicap 35 Fund
10. Kotak Standard Multicap Fund

Some pointers you should keep in Mind

First, find out about each category and whether it is suited to your investment objective and risk profile.

Aggressive hybrid schemes (or erstwhile balanced schemes or equity-oriented hybrid schemes) are ideal for newcomers to equity mutual funds. These schemes invest in a mix of equity (65-80%) and debt (20-35). Because of this hybrid portfolio they are considered relatively less volatile than pure equity schemes that invest the entire corpus only in stocks. Aggressive hybrid schemes are the best investment vehicle for very conservative equity investors looking to create long-term wealth without much volatility.

Some equity investors want to play safe even while investing in stocks. Large cap schemes are meant for such individuals. These schemes invest in top 100 stocks and they are relatively safer than other pure equity mutual fund schemes. They are also relatively less volatile than mid cap and small cap schemes. In short, you should invest in large cap schemes if you are looking for modest returns with relative stability.
A regular equity investor (one with a moderate risk appetite) looking to invest in the stock market need not look beyond multi cap mutual funds or diversified equity schemes. These schemes invest across market capitalisations and sectors, based on the view of the fund manager. A regular investor can benefit from the uptrend in any of the sectors, categories of stocks by investing in these schemes.
