You can get expert advice on mutual funds from valueresearchonline.com

You cant always perfectly analyze the funds if u are a beginner. Basically you need to look at the funds past performance. You should also get to know the stocks in which the fund is invested and find out if they are perming well. If these do well, then the fund will too. You should also look at the analysis of different research broker house's analysis. Furthermore you should see how well are The company's other funds are doing. Finally see to it that the fund focuses more on hot sectors such as Infrastructure, real estate, IT, steel etc.

instead of finding a outperformer, just see the dividend history of the scheme in which u want to invest, study the portfolio of the scheme, and then invest.

a better site for research is morningstar.com but picking the next outperforming mutual fund is very tricky for no one knows what will happen in the next six months and certainly if the commies put their queen in the White House.

First, find a good score card that you can consult regularly (see link below for one of many available).

Then identify performance over differing periods of time. What you want to watch, for technical analysis, the rates of increase.

Segregate, or weed out, those with sporadic bursts. That is not to say abandon them from consideration, necessarily. Some may have strengths in relation to broader market events. Certain things may spur or dampen results. For instance, a fund that is comparatively heavy in defense contractors and related technology will soar when world tensions rise, but sink like a stone when peace is more assured (follow Lockheed's progress over this last year, then if your fund had more than 2 or 3 percent in it, then watch what your fund did). So some funds that are sporadic like this will be good for 'seasonality'-types of consideration.

Finally, when you have a short list, get the idea of how this fund or that manages. If you find one that feels good to you, keep it. I've got the bulk of my money in a handful of funds. Most of my money essentially sits, letting comfortably good managers manage. I don't have stellar results, but reasonable results, comfortable results. My fringe money, my personal trading and investment (two very different things), is different. A while back one fund's top manager moved, I moved my money.

You're probably going to be in the fund for a long time. Advisors change. Stocks change. Look for funds with low fees and a good longterm, ten year, return.against the index it tracks and its catagory. And look at the Morningstar ratings.
