Add debt for portfolio stability
I am investing Rs 2,000 via SIPs in ICICI Infrastructure, Reliance Regular Savings Equity and Reliance Diversified Power Sector fund for the past 18 months. I want to continue investing in them for the next 10 years. Are these schemes good for the long term? I intend to invest another Rs 5,000 through SIPs. Please suggest whether I should increase the amount in the existing schemes or go for HDFC Top 200 and IDFC Premier Equity Plan A. I can take reasonable risk.
