At that time, ICICI Prudential launched a Value Fund.<\/p>\n<p>I spoke with the CIO of ICICI Pru, Mr. Sankar Naren, and urged you to invest in the fund.<\/p>\n<p>A sizable number of you did. After just seven months \u2013 yes, seven months\u2014those of you who followed my advice are sitting on a profit of 45 per cent. Although the fund has lock-in period of three years, with equity markets in a vibrant mood, it will give those who invested a healthy return when the lock-in is over.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we have a stable government in place at the Centre, several indicators point to a turnaround. After a long gap, the dice has been rolled for a bullish phase of the market (see table for previous data).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table width=\"409\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"
