    Default Starting Mutualfund

    Guys

    Am planning to start invest on MF , and am thinking of invest 6000 per month on different funds, but I do have some queries. [some will be very childish, since I am new to theses MF please bear with me]

    1: Starting with do I need to create any D-mat account for investing in MF , if yes suggest me from where I should take.

    2: I am planning to invest 6000 , in 4 different funds , 2k each on aggressive risky funds and 1k each on non risky funds.
    Please tell me whether my approach is correct, and please suggest some funds.

    3: Is it OK to select all the funds from same firm eg : from SBI it self select all 4 funds?

    4: My aim is to continue the investment for min 5 yrs , is it good time to create profit?

    5: Is it good time for investment?

    Thanks in Advance

    You can invest in MFs without a demat account.

    2: I am planning to invest 6000 , in 4 different funds , 2k each on aggressive risky funds and 1k each on non risky funds.
    Please tell me whether my approach is correct, and please suggest some funds.
    More you diversify, it de-risk your portfolio.
    - Are you talking about equity and non equity? (what do you mean by aggressive risky funds?)

    It depends on your risk appetite and your investment purpose or goal.

    3: Is it OK to select all the funds from same firm eg : from SBI it self select all 4 funds?
    - But if all the funds your are investing in - are giving you consistent returns than what is the issue?

    4: My aim is to continue the investment for min 5 yrs , is it good time to create profit?
    5 years a good time frame, but I would suggest you to go for 5-10 years for equity MFs. Keep reviewing your MFs portfolio after every two years.

    5: Is it good time for investment?
    As answer to above query.

    am planning for 2 funds in equity and 2 in hybrid.
    i saw risk grade in value search and it shows for some funds good returns but risk is above average , those kind of funds.

    my goal is after 5 years , getting some 25% profit on my investment. is it feasible?

    in my mind i have these 4 funds
    1: hdfc top 200
    2: sbi magnum emerging
    3: Birla Sun Life Medium Term
    4: UTI SPrEAD

    is it good selection?

    I would go for following MFs in SIP mode -
    Short Term Investment (Min 5 Years) - HDFC Top 200, ICICI Prudential Focused Bluechip Equity Inst I, Quantum Long Term Equity
    Long Term Investment (Min 10 Years) - ICICI Prudential Discovery Inst I, IDFC Premier Equity, Reliance Equity Opportunities Inst

    Thanks for your inputs.

    I have one more doubt in this am planning for these 4 funds
    HDFC Top 200
    SBI emerging
    IDFC Premier Equity
    UTI SPrEAD

    But how to start all these, am having account in Citibank and SBI.

    My 4 funds are with different firms, do I need to start account in all these banks?
    Can I transfer money from my account to SIP?

    No need to open an account with any bank, you can buy the mutual funds from the fund house or any broker.
