Should you invest?

If you are moderate to conservative investor, then you should avoid investing into this fund as it has around 94% exposure to Mid and small cap stocks. Investing by way of SIP is recommended to diversify investments over time. It is further suggested to not stop the SIP in volatile markets. Although a very high-risk fund category, but the fund manager has managed to control the downside risk and controlled losses during market corrections.”
