First, a caution before investing in equity mutual funds

Before we inform readers of the two mutual fund schemes, let us warn readers that these are equity mutual funds, so the risks remain high. The last 1-month has shown us immense volatility and the markets are now down, thanks to the spread of a new covid variant called the Omicron.

Having said that the markets are trading at a significant premium to long-term averages and are hence expensive. It is therefore our suggestion to just stick to SIPs, so even if the markets fall investors can average their acquisition of units, by buying at lower rates. We have been advocating SIPs only given that the markets have jumped sharply in the last 1-year.
