Mutual fund investors often wonder whether they should choose actively managed funds or passive index funds while planning for long-term goals. The debate has become even more relevant as index funds and smart beta strategies gain popularity among retail investors. While passive funds offer low-cost market exposure.
One such query came from Ashish, a 37-year-old investor from Bengaluru and the viewer of The Money Show on ET Now, who currently invests Rs 78,000 every month through SIPs across multiple mutual funds. His portfolio includes Motilal Oswal Nifty 500 Momentum 50 Index Fund, SBI Small Cap Fund, SBI Contra Fund, Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund, Kotak Emerging Equity Fund, and Canara Robeco Bluechip Equity Fund. He has been investing for his daughter's future with an investment horizon of over 15 years.
