Mutual Fund Comparison: SBI Funds: Long Term Equity vs Magnum Comma Fund

SBI Mutual Fund‘s SBI Long Term Equity Fund is designed for long-term capital appreciation with the added benefit of tax savings under Section 80C. It has a diversified portfolio across large, mid, and small-cap stocks and is suitable for investors looking for tax-efficient investment options with a mandatory 3-year lock-in period.

SBI Magnum COMMA Fund focuses on the commodities sector, offering potential high returns but with higher risk due to its concentrated bets in specific sectors like refineries, metals, and energy.
