My suggestion is that never listen to anybody investment advice. If you want to have a return of 100% or more, than you should invest in your own knowledge. Get educated and you can manage your own portfolio and if you do it right, you can get return more than 100% easily.Most investment adviser are not qualified to give you any investment advice. One of the question you should asked your adviser whenever they advise you to invest in something."How much money do they invest in the mutual funds that they recommended to you? If they put their own money in the funds, then you might consider to put your money too. Provided they can show you the proof ;)

Since you are looking for 100% return it would be best to ckeck if the MF's you are planning to invest has given those kind of returns in the last 3-5 years. If no then chances are that it might not be able to give it to you either. you can also try to invest in equity yourself but you need to learn to do this 1st.

100% in three years is unrealistic unless you are prepared to invest in very high risk specific sector or geographic funds.

if you look 100% return then you should go with ICICI pru Infrastructure fund (Growth).

100% return in 3 years is not impossible through Mutual funds, but it is very near impossible. Without even looking up these Funds I can tell you it won't happen.You are diversified through 3 funds. That means your overall anticipated return of 100% can only come about if all three doubled in value within the 3 year timeframe you have prescribed. This is highly, highly unusual. The average time-frame for a good fund to return 100% is 8-10years. When I was a FA, there were some funds that were smoking with a 30-40% annual return, but it was rarely sustainable into the next year. Temperatures that hot are very rare in the Fund world.So if one fund makes it to 100% in three years, you still have the same probability needing to work its magic on those other two, which dramatically affects the outcome here. The odds of pulling it off with one fund is rare...doing it three times...is damn near impossible.Its not impossible, just virtually impossible. I would never recommend this as a strategy. Now, with individual stocks its completely feasible. This year alone I am looking at 144% YTD, but it has been fluctuating to 130%, with the turbulence these past few weeks. This was not a diversified portfolio mind you, so there were risks involved. Bear in mind also, diversification WILL NEVER protect you from systematic risks (market risk), so don't let anyone convince you otherwise. As it stands right now, Inflation is a problem and the Bond Market is trading as though they are anticipating a Recession, which is generally a tell-tale sign of things to come. Your portfolio stands to be affected by this potential outcome for the next 18 months, so I would be skeptical at what your Advisor has established.Hope this helped.

All funds u are considering are sector specific. Try Diversified equity. 100% returns in 3 years are acheivable if the market continues to perform in a manner similar to the way it has been performing . reliance diversified power has given 96% returns in the kast 1 year.

It's possible to achieve those numbers, but HIGHLY unlikely. In order to really hit those returns (market averages 8-12% over entire history) then you need to take on a SUBSTANTIAL amount of risk.you could go down 50% or more taking on the kind if risk you need to try anfd hit those numbers.

Target is achievable looking at the current market conditions.You can also consider following funds1. JM Basic2. Taurus Discovery Stock 3. Kotak Opportunities Some of the above answerers above are not from india & dont know the performance of indian mutual funds.

I don't think you can make 100% returns on a mutual fund in 3 years. It's not impossible, but it is very difficult. At this time it would probably be best for you to start reading up on books about investing, the stock and bond markets and commodity markets. That should help give you the kind of confidence you need to move your funds to higher risk / higher return investments.

You're going to have to make over 23% on those funds...have they done that in the last three or five years? International funds may be your best shot...look into FEMKX or EUROX... even Latin America or China specific funds...One other fund you might look at for some part of your plan is CGMFX....the manager is very active... and has been very successful.Good luck.

if ur investing 1lakh trade urself & get 100% in yrmore on my blog

When you said 100% returns,do you mean to say double your money in three years or a continous run of 100% every year for 3 years.The first is very possible with compounding interest,if your fund manage to get 26% every year.(You can even double your money before 2 years in a good fund)The second is impossible in Mutual Fund.

I Invest in SBI Magnum Contra on January 2006 now on December 2007 my 1 Lakh has turn into 234069, in just two years it has more then double

you can even aim at returns more than 100% by investing your chunk in rught place...... i m a gr8 fan of reliance mutual fund. diversified power has already given a return of 130% and rel is comming up with a new fund on 1st jan,,,,,,,, reliance natural resources with the same aim of power...... you should invest in that fund as it aims all major growth sectors........

Significant returns require significant risk.Mutual funds are run by others......do you really want someone else to run your risk? what if it doesn't work out.Who you going to blame?100% is not realistic for Mutual Funds........over 3 years.We are in a credit crisis.........and it isn't over for a while yet.I suggest you invest in knowledge first, and then try to find a single stock if you want to get 100% returns.......in 3 years.high returns = high risk............pssst....here is a hint.......for real............look for FERTILIZER stocks........they "grow" real fast.
