Dear Guest,
Kindly stop your sip in both the funds AT ONCE!!!!.
The both the funds have average performance to show, you can do better by investing in Good Diversified Equity Funds. While ICICI Pru Child Care Gift Fund is a Balanced Fund, ICICI emerging Fund is Mid-cap fund. I am sure both the funds would trail Diversified Equity Funds in return over a period of 5-6 years, which seem to be your time horizon.
Invest your monthly 1000 sip in the following funds for maximum returns.
250 * 2 in Reliance Growth Fund (500)
500 * 1 in Fidelity Equity Fund (500)
1000 * 1 in HDFC Top 200 fund (1000)
It would be good if you also switch your existing investment in ICICI Emerging Star to a Good Large Cap fund from the ICICI Stable like ICICI Focussed Equity Fund.
Best of luck,
Srikanth Shankar Matrubai.
