Review: HDFC Top 200 Fund

HDFC Top 200 is the open ended Equity fund launched since 1996. It has a proven past record of good performance of more than 12 years now. It is one of my all time favourite mutual fund. This is the core fund of my Portfolio and this should be the core fund of anyone’s portfolio.

Investment Objective -

To generate long term capital appreciation from a portfolio of equity and equity-linked instruments primarily drawn from the companies in BSE 200 index.

This Fund will invest only in BSE 200 Index. Means it will only invest in those 200 stocks which are in the BSE 200 Index. Thus, this is a large cap oriented mutual fund. This fund has under gone different kind of market cycles and still outperformed. Two major market crashes of 2001, Technology Bubble burst and 2008, Housing Bubble burst.

Still this fund has managed to beat the Sensex and given out standing results to its Investors.
