Why I Chose The HDFC Top 200 Fund For My Portfolio?

Posted Vinaya HS

Anoop asks:

What is the difference between an Ordinary Mutual Fund and HDFC’s Top 200 Mutual Fund?

I’ll answer a slightly different question — Why I chose the HDFC Top 200 Fund for my portfolio as opposed to another Mutual Fund?

My reasons:

  • Had been on my radar for the past year (while I was consolidating — and planning to restructure — my finances).
  • Consistently appeared as a consistent performer in all my research.
  • An excellent long-term track record (10+ years) — no fly-by-night performances.
  • Tailored to my investment beliefs — no esoteric investment methodologies.
  • Rated “Elite” on Morningstar India.

Over to you.

What do you look for when picking up a mutual fund investment?

  4. Dear Sir,
    Need to invest Rs. 50,000/- for a horizon of 10years. Interested in HDFC Top 200 fund. Do you suggest any other better option as I no idea about investments. Someone suggested to invest on LIC Samridhi Plus. I need best returns after 10 years and am already covered with LIC plans.
