Just so you know, Mutual funds aren´t for everyone.  Personally, I wouldn´t invest in them unless I had to.  For more detail on that, just do a search for where I´ve addressed this question in other answers.\n\nHowever to answer your question, there are several rankings of mutual funds.  Here are some of the sources with appropriate link.\n\nLots of sources for Mutual fund reports that you´re looking for.  Here are some.\n\nMoney Magazine\nhttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bestfunds/indexfunds.html\n\nMorningstar\nhttp://www.morningstar.com/Cover/Funds.html?pgid=hetabfunds\n\nKiplingers\nhttp://www.kiplinger.com/personalfinance/investing/funds/?\n\nMutualFundRankings\nhttp://mutualfundrankings.org/\n\nAnd you may want to take a look at this article on mutual funds too just so you have a little more info if you´ve got tax concerns.\n\nhttp://www.stanford.edu/dept/news/pr/93/930429Arc3288.html\n\nIf you have any questions, please let me know.\n\nHope that helps!\n\n\n\nInfo on mutual funds\nhttp://beginnersinvest.about.com/cs/mutualfunds1/a/aa031501.htm\n\nInvesting for Beginners\nhttp://beginnersinvest.about.com/popular.htm

Look, before you do anything foolish with the money, get yourself an education in investing. You're going to have no idea if the advice people give you is any good unless you understand how money works. Personally, I recommend "The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need" by Andrew Tobias. It's an easy read and it will give you a firm foundation so that whenever you're presented with a financial choice or recommendation, you'll make an informed decision. No one's ever going to care as much about your money as you are, so you'd better learn how to handle it and make it grow. Good luck.\n\nOh, and have a look at Vanguard, T Rowe Price and Fidelity for your mutual funds.  Each of them has a large variety of funds which will fit your age and risk tolerance.\n\nAlso come over to getrichslowly.org .  A bunch of us money geeks congregate there to discuss everything from saving to investing.  Feel free to wander around and ask questions.  No get rich quick schemes there.  Just diligent and disciplined saving and investing.

I have owned ICICI Bank for a long time.  The symbol is IBN on the New York stock exchange.  Here is a link to a portfolio of Indian stocks:\n\nhttp://www.top10traders.com/ViewPortfolio.aspx?userID=13\n\nYou should consider all of these stocks.  I particularly like VSL because I see telecommunications as an area of opportunity in India.  This portfolio is from http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money.  Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors.  You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas.\n\nHere are this month's best traders:\n\nhttp://www.top10traders.com/Top10Standings.aspx\n\nGood luck!

Hi,\nFrom my personal experience Innvestools, http://www.investools.com/home.asp, are best for investor education. They could be a bit expensive, though, by some standards. If you want to play with very little money but have a big profit potential, I recommend trading stock options. The best options broker and learning resource are optionsXpress, http://www.optionsxpress.com/.

before trading the real money, use an assimilated program that will allow you to learn without taking big risks.  It is also wise to take courses in investments and learn as much as you can before you start playing with your life savings.

Magnum is a little bit risky with the contrarian style. I might lean towards Reliance, or HDFC out of the ones that you have named. Best in general is hard to define. The best fund for you will be the one that best matches your risk tolerance and your time frame for investing.\n\n\nHDFC:\nWITH absolute returns of around 90 per cent over the past year, the HDFC Prudence Fund remains the top choice among the balanced funds available to the investor. \n\nIts performance in 2003 reinforces the case for investing in a fund based on its track record across two or three market cycles. The NAV of the fund's Growth Plan has quadrupled since the end of 1998, and now stands at Rs 45.71 . \n\nSuitability: Investors with an appetite for risk, who are looking to build equity exposures now, should consider routing their exposures through the HDFC Prudence Fund. Given the sharp run-up in equity market levels, any investment made now in an equity-oriented fund, is likely to carry a big dose of downside risk. \n\nBut as a balanced fund with a near-40 per cent exposure to debt or debt equivalents, the HDFC Prudence Fund may provide better downside protection than a pure equity fund, while allowing you to participate in any further appreciation in equity values. \n\nPerformance: With a 90 per cent return over the past one year, the fund outperformed the Crisil Balanced Fund Index, its benchmark, by a wide margin. Though only 60-65 per cent of the fund's assets are invested in equities, the fund has managed to outpace a good number of pure equity funds, both over the past one year and over a five-year time-frame. \n\nHDFC Prudence Fund adopts a flexible asset allocation pattern; both its equity and debt exposures can swing between 40 and 60 per cent of its assets. But in practice, the fund has tended to stick with a particular asset allocation pattern for two to three years, based on its view of the equity and debt markets. \n\nFor the past couple of years, the fund has been allocating 60-65 per cent of its portfolio to equities and the rest to debt and money market instruments. In 2003, the fund appears to have periodically rebalanced its equity portfolio to keep equity in the 60-65 per cent range. \n\nBetween June and December 2003, despite the sharp appreciation in equity values and in the NAV, the equity exposure has actually fallen from 62.2 per cent to 60.6 per cent. \n\n\n\nReliance Vision:\nAn Indian fund, Reliance Vision, was the second best performing fund globally in the April-June quarter, according to Lipper Asia Ltd, which tracks approximately 80,000 funds worldwide. \n\nThe fund operated by Reliance Capital Asset Management Ltd gained 34.86 per cent last quarter, second only to Aberdeen Select Indonesian Equity Fund, managed by Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Ltd, which rose 34.95 per cent. \n\nMagnum Contra:\n\nA normal diversified equity fund is one that invests in the stocks of various companies in different sectors. Magnum Contra does the same thing.\n\nHowever, as the name suggests, it will follow a contrarian view to investing and takes contrarian bets on stocks. This means the fund manager will deliberately bypass the popular stocks that everyone else is chasing. Instead, s/he will pick stocks that have the potential to appreciate (rise in price over time) but are undervalued and out of favour with other investors.\n\nThe fund manager will focus on stocks that have strong fundamentals but are trading at a significant discount to their intrinsic value. In layman's terms, this refers to a stock whose share price is, say, Rs 15 right now but has the potential to be Rs 100 over a period of time. Yet, it does not feature in the 'favourite list' of other stock pickers. \n\nIn other words, the fund managers of such funds will invest in companies that are out of fashion, yet sound. These will be stocks that are strong on fundamentals, but whose value is not yet recognised by the market. To put it very simply, it is

I wouldn't listen to infomercials. They don't guarantee you anything and may charge you lots of fees to get their program. I would take classes or do some research at the library.\n\nStocks can make you lots of money in a quick period of time, but you can also lose lots of money too. If you don't know how to invest, then invest in mutual funds. Mutual funds are managed by professionals who have over 10 years of experience in the stock market.

Actively managed funds lose their shine as the market matures and hence outperforming broader market consistently for a long period is nearly impossible.\n\nAs far as India is concerned only around 100-300 stocks are well researched and actively traded in the market and hence provide liquidity.  Fund houses which go beyond these stocks can always pick-up winners and hence beat the market index.  Just look at the how a large cap fund FT India Bluechip fund can better the Sensex index by huge margin.  An yet to mature market like India will always offer better opportunities for the fund manager for the next 10-15 years.\n\nETFs and Index funds have low expense ratios and that is plus point.  But in the diversified funds vs ETF/Index funds they are not mutually exclusive and hence they can compliment any investor portfolio.\n\nGood luck.
