I have been researching sectoral funds and came across the HDFC Manufacturing Fund. Since the manufacturing sector is expected to grow in the coming years, I am considering investing in this fund. However, I am unsure whether I should track the HDFC Manufacturing Fund NAV closely or just invest through an SIP.

I have a few questions before making a decision:

How volatile is the HDFC Manufacturing Fund NAV, and how often should it be tracked?
Is this fund suitable for long-term investment, or is it too risky?
Would investing through the best SIP strategy be more beneficial than a lump sum investment?
What are the potential returns compared to other sector-based funds?
I am looking for advice from experienced investors who have already invested in this fund. If you have any insights on its performance, risks, and the best way to invest, please share your thoughts!
