    Should You Invest?<\/h3>\n

    I would advise investment in a New fund Offer only if it has something new to offer. As far as Fidelity India Value Fund is concerned I don\u2019t see any thing new offered in the fund. It\u2019s just another diversified equity fund with a fancy name.<\/p>\n

    So for innovation it gets a rating of 1\/5<\/p>\n

    Fund House Performance:<\/h3>\n

    Fidelity entered Indian Mutual Fund Arena in 2005. Presently it has portfolio of around 6 Equity Funds, 8 debt funds & 3 hybrid funds. In the equity space it has two outperforming funds<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Fidelity Tax Advantage<\/li>\n
    • Fidelity Equity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      While it\u2019s other equity funds are average performers.<\/p>\n

      It offers online investment facility which comes very handy and you can invest at the comforts of your home without paying any commission whatsoever.<\/p>\n

      Fund House: 3\/5<\/p>\n

      Fund Manager Performance:<\/h3>\n

      Nitin Bajaj<\/strong> and Subramanian Balakrishnan<\/strong> together are already managing Fidelity India Special Situations which is an average performer for last 3 years. In addition Subramanian Balakrishnan also manages Fidelity India Growth, Fidelity International Opportunities, and Fidelity Equity funds. Except Fidelity Equity there\u2019s nothing outstanding about other funds.<\/p>\n

      Fund Manager: 3\/5<\/p>\n

      Final Verdict:<\/h3>\n

      While it makes sense for Fidelity to launch new funds to expand itself but from investors\u2019 perspective I don\u2019t see any new value proposition in the fund. If investors want to invest in Fidelity House then they would be better off by investing in existing schemes – Fidelity Tax Advantage or Fidelity Equity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
