Book profits regularly in infra funds

With the sector's fundamentals poised to improve, this could be a good time to enter

Infrastructure funds have rewarded investors handsomely over the past one year with an average return of 32.19 per cent. Much of this return has come in the current calendar year. The average year-to-date return of these funds stands at 20.50 per cent. However, the past experience is quite volatile. If you look at the calendar-year wise returns of these funds over the past six years, they have been highly volatile (See Table). Returns have been positive one year and negative in the very next. Yet, many experts believe that this sector is now on the cusp of a turnaround.
