Quarterly review โ€“ changes to recommendations in Prime Funds & Prime ETFs

Prime Funds narrows the choice of the thousands of funds out there in the market into a list of 50-60 funds that you can pick from to invest.

Funds investing internationally were the flavour of the season all of last year. That changed in February this year, when funds hit the ceiling set by the Reserve Bank on how much they could invest in overseas securities. When we first explained the scenario, expectations were that this cap would be increased in due course and international funds could open up again.

Parag Parikh Flexi Cap โ€“ should you continue to invest?

Fund recommendation: Catching a theme on the recovery

This week, weโ€™re issuing an invest recommendation on another theme thatโ€™s starting to break out of a long slump. This theme makes for a good portfolio differentiator as most other diversified equity funds, as yet, have not moved overweight by much on it.

Prime recommendation: Book profits on this equity fund

We had taken a positive view on commodities early on, and added the theme through our โ€˜Economic Revivalโ€™ category under Thematic Investing since our inception in January 2020.

Now we would like to alert you to book profits on this equity fund (NOT sell) and prune it back to your original capital.ย
