Which mutual fund is the best to invest Rs1,000-5,000 per month, with no lock-in period and assured gains?

—Archana Modak

For assured gains, invest in debt- based or fixed maturity schemes. Schemes that have investment in equities do not give assured returns.

What is the outlook for Vijaya Bank in the light of it being merged with some other bank such as Canara Bank? I have 500 Vijaya Bank shares, purchased at Rs23.75, which is currently trading around Rs45. Will my investment be safe?

—V.V. Sarma

Your investment is definitely safe as these banks are under state control. But you may find better deals in the banking sector and may convert your holding into other banks such as Andhra Bank, Allahabad Bank, Indian Overseas Bank and Yes Bank with two-three years’ perspective.
