I am doing SIP for following mutual funds, should I adjust my SIP amount between these funds or start investing into new funds also (Small cap or Metal ETFs or others) to get better future returns with some stability. SIP % amount mentioned with each fund, total SIP amount is Rs. 29000 per month. I wish to increase it to Rs. 40000 per month. I have take little risk and looking for 7-10 year horizon. started investing since last 1 year. I am into late 40s. I efficiently use PPF/NPS/SSY for family members. Is it worth to start Vatsalya NPS as well? SBI Equity Hybrid Fund (14%), ICICI Prudential Equity & Debt Fund (14%), Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund (17%), HDFC Mid Cap Fund (28%), ICICI Prudential Large Cap Fund (28%)
Ans: Hi SP,
Let us go through the details one at a time.
- You are investing in PPF, NPS n SSY for family. This is good with risk free returns. Continue doing the same.
- No requirement for NPS Vatsalaya for long term.
- You are doing good and your portfolio looks quite balanced considering the amount and % mentioned. You have a good blend of equity and hybrid funds for stability.
- However can consider adding small cap as well for the long term horizon of 10 years. Start a new SIP of 4000 in Axis Small Cap.
- Increase contribution to flexicap fund and SBI Equity Hybrid fund.
- Avoid investing in sectoral funds like metal sectors as these are cyclic performers and not required for your time period.
Overall it looks good but yet you may consider consulting a professional for long term goals and aligning your investments with your goals.
Hence can consult 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.
Let me know if you need more help.
