Ans: Hi Smruti,
Your disciplined approach towards SIP is worth appreciation. And increasing SIP whenever possible is a remarkable decision.
Currently you are willing to increase your SIP amount from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 25,000 which is a nice approach.
However, the current funds in which you are invested are highly fragmanted and have many overlapped stocks which clearly doesn't serve the purpose.
Instead of adding more funds into your existing portfolio, you should review and consolidate existing portfolio for a better optimized results.
>> You have 3 funds - SBI bluechip, HDFC index nifty 50 & Axis bluechip - all these serve the same purpose and hold the same stocks. It is not advisable to go for all 3 funds.
>> Thematic Funds - comes with high risk and concentrated exposure. Not recommended.
>> IDFC - has been rebranded to Bandhan.
Ideally, consider investing 5000 in a largecap, 6000 in a flexicap fund, 3000 in a midcap fund, 3000 in a smallcap fund, 3000 in a BAF and 5000 in mix of value fund.
Hence, stop existing SIPs but do not redeem entire portfolio as it comes with an exit load and tax liability.
For a more seamless guidance consider consulting a professional Certified Financial Planner - a CFP who can guide you with exact funds to invest in keeping in mind your age, requirements, financial goals and risk profile. A CFP periodically reviews your portfolio and suggest any amendments to be made, if required.
