    Dear Lavanya,

    Both fund mentioned by you is debt fund for short term goal.You want to invest 8.4 Lakh by SIP and your target is to get 10 Lakh. It is possible to generate the expected return. However, it is suggested to invest in aggressive equity based mutual funds.

    Dear Munish,

    ICICI Pru Value Discovery is not performing well since past few months.The major holding of these mutual fund is in IT,Pharma,Energy and automobile.One reason of non performance would be these stocks and sector are under performing.If you do peer comparison other funds are doing well. I recommend to switch to other mutual funds.
