Hey folks,
Just wanted to throw this out here and see what everyone thinks. I’ve been reviewing my investments lately, and something caught my eye — the Consumption mutual fund category, particularly the AXIS Consumption Fund.

Now, I’m aware thematic funds can be a hit or miss, but Consumption mutual funds make a pretty solid case. These funds target companies tied directly to consumer demand — think FMCG, retail, auto, and lifestyle brands. In a growing economy like ours, where consumer spending is only rising, this theme seems to have a lot of potential.

The AXIS Consumption Fund seems like a good pick in this space. It has shown resilience and decent returns over the last couple of years. I checked the axis consumption fund nav recently and noticed it's relatively stable, which is a good sign for anyone thinking about starting a SIP.

I already have SIPs running in large-cap and flexi-cap funds, but I’m now considering adding a sectoral fund to diversify things a bit. After doing some digging, I noticed many financial platforms are listing this as one of the Best SIP options for long-term thematic growth.

So, I thought I’d bring this to the forum and get your opinions:

Is the AXIS Consumption Fund something worth including in a balanced portfolio?
Has anyone here had experience with Consumption mutual funds in general?
How closely do you monitor metrics like the axis consumption fund nav before investing?
Would you hold a thematic SIP for 3–5 years or treat it more tactically?

Not trying to promote anything — just genuinely curious about this fund’s potential and how others approach thematic investing. If you’ve got thoughts, tips, or alternative suggestions, I’d love to hear them.
