In bull market, it may seem unwise to diversify your portfolio, when you are seeing some segment of the market is performing exceptionally well, but one gets the importance when the tide of the sector goes out and the prices start tumbling.

Before investing in a fund, evaluate the investment strategy and quality of holdings, because it's not necessary that all funds which see correction in bear market will recover in bull market.
Before investing in any fund, you must first identify your goals for the investment. For long term goals like goals which have a horizon more than 5 years, one can take equity exposure but for short & medium term goals, you should stick to debt plans

A benchmark is basically the index which acts as a yardstick to evaluate the relative performance of your scheme in relation to the market average.
You need to find out whether the fund is able to beat the benchmark consistently or not.
