Money9 Helpline hosted Surya Bhatia, CFP to resolve queries related to investment in Flexicap funds

Edited excerpts:

Kaustubh: How is the recent NFO ICICI Flexi cap fund?

Bhatia: This is a new fund so there is no track record of its performance. Though its CIO, fund managers, and current performance performing well now as it has generated 10,000 crores. But I would suggest that if you already have funds in funds in this category and it is showing a fair performance, then go for existing funds.

Ashish Patel: I want to invest in a SIP of Rs 10,000 for 7 years. Please suggest a good Flexicap fund

Bhatia: There are good options in Flexi caps where you can invest.  PGIM Flexi cap has a good track record and is performing well. DST Flexi cap, UTI Flexi cap are also good options. They have a track record of 5 years, So you can prefer these funds.
