The stock market have been firm with the Sensex moving above 32,000 and reaching tantalizingly close to its all-time highs. Is this the time for not-so-adept investors to dabble directly into equities? Maybe not.

This is more so if you are a first-time investor in equity mutual funds at these levels. You would be undecided whether you should invest at all and if so, which are the best funds to take your first steps into mutual funds.
