Hi. In my opinion, while there is no harm in investing in NFOs that are expected to perform well; given the nature of the fund, past reputation and performance of their schemes over a period of time, you should take care that : * You understand the objective of the scheme and likelihood of its' doing well, given the overall scenario. * Take care of not subscribing to NFOs that are sectoral in nature, as this would narrow down diversification. * Not to fall for themes that have fancy names but the underlying investment avenues are similar to ongoing schemes. * Do bear in mind that it takes time for a scheme to give returns!. To that extent, it is also prudent to invest in ongoing schemes that have a good track record and are also rated by independent agencies.
