Mutual funds from fund houses like Franklin Templeton, HDFC, SBI, ICICI are quite good. But, the thing to remember here is: past good performance is not an indication of future performance. The element of risk will always be there. Visit personal finance, mutual fund web sites like http://www.valueresearchonline.com and http://www.moneycontrol.com to know ratings of various mutual fund schemes. A better idea would be to start off the investment with the minimum application amount and thereafter a monthly SIP.

You can start with the most consistent performing funds in the industry like..Franklin India Blue Chip,HDFC Top 200, HDFC Equity,SBI Magnum Global.These funds have a track record of more than 10 years. The average returns are fantastic. Since I'm from a Mutual fund industry, I always suggest Large Cap mutual funds for the first time investors(Mutual funds Investments are subject Market risk.....In particular Equity Mutual Funds...:)

Don't buy mutual funds for the long-term. There are too many costs involved. The mutual fund manager and employees all have to get paid, which cuts into your earnings. This makes them less attractive, so they pay advisers to recommend them, which further cuts into your earnings. So advisers sing their praises, telling you they bring diversity to help protect you against a bad time for any one sector.
The thing is, with a little research (made easier than ever with the Internet and websites like Yahoo! Finance), you can diversify on your own by picking the best companies in the sectors you want to invest in.
Mutual funds add a middleman to the process. Buy direct with stocks, it takes a little research, but the long-term benefits outweigh the time you spend online reading articles to learn more about the market and how to find a good company to invest in. Knowing more about the market will also make you more comfortable talking about your investments with your adviser and more confident if you decide you want to change course.

Putnam PAEAX is a long term, reliable investment (according to Lipper rankings). Relatively low risk with full exposure to the global markets, and the team of professionals managing it get paid based on performance. A broker has no liabilty when their suggestions don't perform; these guys do. No minimums, but you always want to invest as much as you can.

Fidelity, reliance, hdfc, Franklin are few best fund houses. you should plan for mid/long term. short term is not advisable. when you plan for more than 3 years period, we can not assess which fund house will perform better in future. with the past performance we can assess the future. apart from this, the performance mainly depends on its manager. some managers are aggressive and some managers conservative. however, you can study and invest in the above fund house schemes. it is always better to go for SIP (systematic investment plan), which means, you can invest as low as Rs.500/-(in some houses) Rs.1000/- (in some houses) on monthly basis on a fixed date. this is called rupee cost averaging. this will absorb the up and downs of the market.

Vanguard, T. Rowe Price and American Century are good companies. I prefer no-load funds. Each fund has a minimum initial investment. But, if you make regular automated contributions some funds waive the initial minimum.

Hello,
I invested in "Tata Infrastructure Fund" in Dec' 2004. Invested Rs. 5000/- and now it is at 11,000/-. And the future of this is still expected to be very good. So I would suggest you too to invest atleast 5000/- (minimum amount) in it now and can expect annual returns atleast of about 25-30%. And invest rest in different diversified Funds.
