Should I invest in Canara Robeco Emerging Equities Fund?

I want to start two SIPs of Rs 5,000 in Canara Robeco Emerging Equities Fund and Canara Robeco Balanced Fund (Regular, growth). Kindly rate my investment options and also suggest some good mutual funds for 10 years to start SIPs.

Without knowing your goals, investment horizon and risk profile, it is not possible to comment about your investment choice. But you have chosen two good performers. However, you should try to align your investment profile with these schemes. For example, the Emerging Equities Fund is a midcap scheme, whereas the Balanced Fund is a equity-oriented hybrid scheme. Midcap scheme is a risky bet, whereas a balanced fund is meant for conservative investors. Try to assess your risk appetite and choose schemes accordingly. Also, you have picked two schemes from the same fund house that increases risk. Try to spread your investments among fund houses.

Here are our recommended SIP equity mutual fund portfolios. You can choose a portfolio based on your risk profile and SIP amount.
