Investors in largecap fund also face the risk, in case of a market collapse. This is why when the Sensex is at a peak of 53,000 points, we are recommending investors to go with good SIPs, which is the best bet in the current market to average your risk.

You can start an investment with a small sum of Rs 500 by way of SIP. The fund is very large in terms of assets managed and currently has assets under management of nearly Rs 30,000 crores.

Almost 99.6% of the fund is invested in equities, which means the fund is very low on cash and cash equivalents.

Investors can look to invest in the SIP of the fund with a small investment of as less as Rs 500 each month.

We wish to emphasize the fact that markets have run-up too sharply in the last few months and hence investing lumpsum amount can be dangerous. It is therefore, better to invest through the SIP route. Shouls the markets fall from these levels by 10% or so, investors can look to increasing their SIPs. At the moment the markets are very expensive.
