ReplyDeleteA good review of the Fund.
ReplyDeleteI just ask myself if metals and minerals are a part of infrastructure?!?
ReplyDeleteThat's what the Reliance MF's brochure says. You would be surprised , they have included banking as well, probably they are the lenders to the infra companies. They want to sell the product somehow !
ReplyDeleteThere is a probability of NAV going down to 30 to 40 % in the initial stages. Better to grab the units at that time as in the long run this fund is sure to perform.
ReplyDeleteone of the worst fund, the buying rate was 10.25 when sensex was 14000 and now 8.92 even though the sensex is around 18000.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how they are manipulating
The infra stocks have taken quite a beating. We had recommended a wait and buy approach, in the review above.
ReplyDeleteAlso it is better go for a diversified equity fund than a sectoral fund.
