Please suggest a tax saver fund for me
I am 29 years old and I am a state government servant. I have already invested Rs 4,000 per month through SIPs in two funds: Birla Sun Life Equity Fund Growth (Rs 3,000) and UTI Opportunity Fund (Rs 1,000) from 7 December 2014. I want to reshuffle my investment and invest Rs 3,000 more as SIP. I can run this SIPs for a long period, say, 20 to 25 years. I also need to save tax. Please suggest me a few funds where I can invest. I am aslo thinking to stop the Birla fund folio and start a new one in the same fund with a Rs 1,000 SIP. I would be grateful if you can suggest me funds and how to invest in them.
