Articles: Best Performing Mutual Funds (MFs) of 2007
This articles lists the top mutual funds (MFs) for the year 2007. The ranking is for Equity Diversified MFs, Tax Saving (ELSS) MFs and Debt MFs.
|
With the end of the year approaching, it is time now to look into the rear
view mirror, and find out which mutual funds have performed the best in the
year gone by.
Of course, as they say, "past performance is not a guarantee for future performance". But a consistent performance over a long period of time can be treated as a proof of strong stock picking and fund management skills. |
So, here is a list of top performing mutual funds (MFs) for the year 2007. (My recommendation: Pay more attention to long term performance and rankings instead of 1 year performance)
