Ans: Hi Mr Abhijit , glad to see you are doing investments in good funds but my suggestion kindly avoid too many funds.

all your funds are good and it makes sense that you allocate your 35 lacs in current portfolio by way of systematic transfer.

for 35 lacs you can divide it in 1. Canara Robeco Blue chip equity fund

4. Kotak emerging equity fund

but remember small and mid caps will deliver best reyruns in long term - for 5 to 6 years time frame you can invest but should have patience to see gains later.

Thank you very much, Sir, for the kind replies. Here's a supplementary: How does one get to know which MF Scheme follows Value style of investing and which Growth? Your Ans: Ref of Q 1, you need to provide inputs as to what exactly you want to track by knowing the investment strategy of a fund.

Do you get me aright? Regards.

Ans: Hi Anil, the value oriented mutual funds generally have word value in the scheme name and as the strategy suggests, these funds invest in stocks that are currently trading at a level lower than their intrinsic value

Whereas to understand growth oriented funds you can look for portfolio built of large mud small caps and generally names too will have large cap fund mud cap fund or snall cap fund multi cap fund flexi cap fund as the names

What is the risk of investing in Mutual Funds?

Ans: Hi Nitishka , Risk Can be defined as your response to tolerance level. So its subjective and what's risky for me many not be risky for you. So in Mutual Funds specially wherever you will see equity as a component, you will see that much part of the portfolio as RED or GREEN depending on equity market performance. But more te equity in the portfolio more is the possibility of good gains and vice versa. So All in all i can say when you are driving your car on the road you drive it with safety and not with the intention of meeting with an accident. So in mutual funds too risk is there in the form of equity to create possibility of better returns and fund house takes care as to not spoil the party by choosing wrong equity as they have their own set of rules to assess the stock selection.

Ans: Hi Kashyap AM glad you liked my answer. Thank You.
well for 12 years a good mid cap fund can be chosen from Axis Midcap Fund and Nippon India Growth Fund. While you can make it all midcap fund investment for 12 years my suggestion allocate a good amount to parag parikh flexi cap fund too. So for 12 years if you want to reach to 2 cr the assuming returns of around 12 % per annum you need to invest Rs 65000 per month of which 40000 can go in mid cap and 25000 in flexi cap.

now for your retirement corpus of 1.5 cr after 14 years you can easily choose only one large cap fund which is Mirae asset Large cap fund and One small cap fund like axis small cap fund or canara robeco small cap fund

You need to save Rs 37000 at assumed rate of 12% for 14 years o reach to your retirement goal. Amts can be RS 17000 in small cap and Rs 20000 in large cap fund.

Question by Divya - Jan 30, 2023

Hi Mr Hemant I'm a salaried professional. Is this a good time to invest in real estate? I plan to take an 80 per cent loan to buy a flat. Kindly suggest if the decision is right

Ans: Hi Divya ,it depends on 2things , the Real estate you want to buy is for personal use or you want to buy as an investment. If you intend to buy it for personal use then if you like the project ,location and believe the price is good ,then go ahead and buy it. But if you want to buy as an investment then a lot of factors are to be seen. Today the situation is very different as far as rent is concerned specially after covid time. so getting a good rent may or may not be possible. Also the home loan interest rates are going up in accordance with repo rate hike.so consider that too.
