With markets off their highs and many on Dalal Street predicting this as the start of a multi-year bull run, investors may consider buying units of mutual funds' taxsaving product - equity linked saving schemes (ELSS), according to investment advisors.

It makes sense to capitalise on the current volatility in the market by investing in tax-saving funds to save on tax and create wealth. Recent reforms announcements should be a positive trigger for equities in the near term.

Wealth managers say investors should stick to schemes with good track record in the long run. Reliance Tax Saver Fund, ICICI Prudential Tax Plan and DSP BlackRock Tax Saver Fund. While the market has done well in the past year, with the CNX Nifty registering 28.91% returns, experts are betting on better times ahead.

Taking into account expected earnings growth, there may be further valuation upsides in the market. The three-year lock-in in tax-saving funds makes investors take at least a three-year view on the equity markets.
