What is the expert advice?

According to fund manager Siddharth Chhabria, it is very important to have a vision of at least 5 years while investing in such thematic funds. He believes that consumer discretionary sectors like jewellery, fashion, retail can grow rapidly and can give 1.5 to 2 times more growth than GDP.
