In equity funds, parag parikh flexi cap fund and mirae asset emerging bluechip funds are best. They have given superb returns in last 5 years.
Parag parikh flexi cap fund is diversified as it will invest in US stocks like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon along with Indian. https://t.co/RmoDMgXoRM
2/5
But one issue with this is if you exit before 2 years, there is an exit load of 2% in 1st year and 1% in 2nd year.
Mirae asset emerging bluechip funds stopped taking lump sum amounts and only can do SIP of Rs. 2500 currently.
3/5
But there is catch, you can do multiple SIPs in it, you can SIP on every day and still invest 75k in a month. I am doing this way only.
Coming to debt funds, ICICI prudential all seasons bond fund and hdfc corporate bond fund are good if consider 5 years performance.
4/5
In zerodha, all above 4 MFs can be pledged and haircut also very less just 7.5%. But you can use only 50% for positional margin, other 50% should come in cash or equivalent funds like gilt, liquid etc. For intraday, 100% can be used.
5/5
Nippon india gilt fund is also good, considering it will be cash component and only 10% haircut.
For tax saving, you need to invest in ELSS funds.
I invested in Quant Tax Plan and it gave 80% returns in just 273 days.
