Four funds that have delivered more than 40 per cent returns in one year

The past one year has been difficult for equity markets and has indeed been on the higher side of volatility. Even as the Indian markets have gone nowhere in one year period there are few funds which have managed to deliver extraordinary returns.

DSPBR Natural Res & New Energy Fund – Reg (G) , DSPBR  World Mining Fund – Reg (G), Kotak World Gold Fund- (G)  and DSPBR World Gold Fund  - Reg (G) are the top four funds in terms of returns.

These funds have delivered more than 40 per cent returns over a one year period.

The outperformance of these funds suggests the importance of taking a global perspective when it comes to equity investing and also keeping investments in different asset classes including gold sector is quintessential if one wants to grow his/her wealth.

One of the most important development which retail investors often ignore is on the front of ongoing depreciation, which helps Indian investors to invest in global funds under the scenario where the India rupee is depreciating and that is exactly what is happening right now.

Global funds are like mutual funds who invest in companies listed on foreign exchanges like NYSE , Nasdaq, FTSE, etc. .the time is ripe for retail investors to consider investing in global funds – we say !
