  While DSPBR Balanced might not seem exciting, it will show its mettle in long-term performances… Though not the most exciting offering around, it won't disappoint over the long run. Its 10-year annualized return of around 21 per cent (as on May 31, 2011), ahead of 80 per cent of its peers, bears testimony to that. However, investors would not be over the moon with last year's below-average returns. "This is a more defensive fund," says Shah, with reference to other offerings in the category. "In 2010, mid caps out performed large caps significantly and this fund has only 50 per cent portfolio in mid caps." Hence the underperformance with regards to its peers which had a greater tilt towards mid caps. What hit the fund in 2010, helped it in 2011. As on April 29, 2011, the fund lost 2.87 per cent (category average: -3.29%). A similar trait was noticed in 2008 when the fund's fall was curtailed to 5 per cent less than the category average.

  Though not around for too long, AIG Infrastructure and Economic Reform has shown potential. Husain has successfully implemented the fund's mandate to make it one of the better picks in its category.   Its investment objective permits it to invest in companies that could benefit from potential investments in infrastructure and unfolding economic reforms. Any investor familiar with the infrastructure space will be aware that each fund manager has his own view on what constitutes 'infrastructure'.   Moreover, other government bodies such as the Income Tax department and the Reserve Bank of India ( RBI ) also have their own definition. At AIG Mutual Fund, they stick to the definition put forth by the Planning Commission.   In this fund, the obvious sectors will be eliminated such as Technology, Pharmaceuticals, Automobiles and Media.
