certainly invest in SBI Infrastructure as SBI Mutual Fund has launched `SBI Infrastructure Fund - Series I', which is a three-year close-ended growth fund that will invest in the equity of a diversified basket of companies directly or indirectly involved in infrastructure and in the debt markets.
The new fund offer opens on May 11 and closes June 8. The minimum application for the scheme is Rs5,000. The fund will have growth and dividend investment options.

Fund officials said the fund will have a top-down approach to identify and create a diversified portfolio of companies and will have no sectoral or market capitalisation bias.

" The proposed $2-billion initial public offering (IPO) by the Delhi-based real estate developer DLF Ltd will make India a property-driven stock market like Hong Kong and Tokyo, said foreign brokerage and investment banking firm CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.

In its latest report, CLSA said the listing of a big cap like DLF would also ensure that the stock gets included in benchmark indices in due course. This, in turn, would lead to the hiring of specialised property analysts for the first time in the stock market, it said.

"The listing of DLF will mark the formal confirmation that India has become a property-driven stock market like Hong Kong, Tokyo and many other markets before it. But if this means the story has now been recognised, it certainly does not mean the end of the trade. All this means that the easy money has already been made. There is still a lot of potential for the property boom to run further," the report said.

This is very important as Indian investors, with an index mandate, have not been able to play the asset-inflation story in a meaningful manner, precisely because the index reflects history and historically India has never had a property boom, the report pointed out.

"The lack of legitimate property plays with transparent corporate governance has also caused conservative investors to shun the property and land plays to their detriment in performance terms. Still, the listing of DLF means that the property story is likely to become more mainstream. It also will serve as a catalyst for fund managers in India to look more at asset-based investing, and not just at earnings
