insurance schemes almost always have ruinous sales commissions, which you pay through poor investment performance and fees.

you did not say where you are.

In America, I recommend Vanguard Funds for new investors [if you're going to invest in any fund at all] because their costs and fees are the lowest in the business.

Can't say for other nations' funds though.

This is not an easy question to answer. It is best that you make up your own mind. I am going to provide you with a link that will offer enough data that you can make your choice base on your own research.

This is the main link. Use the search and compare buttons to the right to drill down into the funds. Double click on the fund name to see the details of the fund including performance history, fees, and minimums. And who to contact to buy some.

this is good timeto invest in mutual fund, so the market is falled. invest in ICICI power or dynamic sceem, RELIANCE groth,or equity, HDFC groth or premier multi , sbi magnum and more. you invest more than 5 to 10 equity sceem so you can reduce risk throw diversification. past perfomance not sure for future. if you invest different funds and sceems is good to get average benifit

pls not go with insuarence sceem, you lost more money in the name of charges. i am already working with insuarence and mutual fund section

the best tools of investing in MF are,,,you need to study on the performance of the company,funds,distributions that paid ,track record n the fund manager himself...but best of all get a professional advice from the MF consultant so you no need to monitor by yrself!!
monthly investment or regular investment can gv you better performance....tq/rossi
