These funds are designed in such a way that one can get good returns but the risk involved would be less as compared to other mutual funds available in the market. All the funds are from reputed corporate houses making it more credible to buy these stocks for long term perspective.

There would be other equity mutual funds which can give more returns than this but the chances and stability of those funds are less making it highly volatile to enter to these funds. Also, these funds are run by professional fund managers making it more credible to invest in these funds and also little bit safe, secure.

Direct Plans are also preferred as there is no intermediary between the investor and mutual fund company as compared to other plans where there would be some intermediary. Direct plan would help to eliminate commissions which will help to buy more at same price.
