Career

My Son did his B. Tech in engg physics from iit Guwahati in 2018. He is very intelligent. Got Bits Pilani high marks, Bengal Joint Rank 70.He had Jest rank 2.Did PhD in physics 2023 subject string theory from TIFR. Now got in southampton uk as post doc. What I find that the general academia is a very long journey and scope is very limited. The income stream also not very encouraging compared to other streams available for a student like my son. My son in love of physics. Let me know what should a person like his caliber do and if wants to switch what should be the direction.

Ans: Hello. It is good to hear that your son has a good academic score and background. It is understandable that you are concerned about your son’s career prospects and income potential in academia, especially in fields like physics. However, given your son’s complete background with a focus on physics and the fact that they release the scope is less, still he can choose to change
1. Your son can choose to work in the R&D departments of companies in technology, aerospace, defence, energy, and finance. The sectors offer competitive salaries.
2. Given your son’s physics background, he can have a smooth transition in the data science and analytics fields. The field has huge demand and can help in leveraging analytical skills.

3. Also, your son can consider entrepreneurship, the science and technology sector, where he can work with complex science concepts., and quantitative finance, where he can put his mathematical and analytical skills to use. The popular roles include financial engineer, risk analyst, quantitative engineer, etc.

4. Apart from this, your son can continue to pursue his education by pursuing postdoctoral research, publishing papers, and choosing to be a professor.

The ideal choice for your son would be totally based on his strengths, career goals, aspirations, and priorities. Talking about transferring to different fields would require a whole new skill set or credentials.

I am 35 and planning to get financial free by 45 while no plan to withdraw after 45 but could be a chance to swp of 5% from 50 age. No loan is running currently. Owning 2 plots which might be worth of 90L lakhs now. I have rsu's which would be around 50L vested. My monthly salary is nearly 2.4L and my expenses are arround 60k to 70k per month. Please suggest bucket for long term. My plan to invest in nifty50 -20%, next fifty -20%, government bond /gold - 20%, medium cap - 25%, small cap - 15% for long term.. ready to invest 1L per month sip from now. Please suggest

Ans: Hello;

You may allocate your monthly sip
(1 L) in the following manner:

Flexicap type mutual fund: 30%
PPFAS flexicap
Large cap mutual fund: 20%
Canara Robeco Bluechip
Midcap mutual fund: 20%
Nippon India Growth
Small cap fund: 10%
SBI small cap
Multi asset allocation fund: 20%
ICICI Pru MAF

For retirement purpose corpus should never be in pure equity fund.

You may utilise hybrid funds such as equity savings type mutual fund or conservative hybrid debt type mutual fund for SWP.

Also do not let the SWP rate above 3% as this serves as safety during market drawdowns as to not eat into your corpus and deplete it significantly.

Land and RSUs may be your booster to fight inflation in retirement.

Stay sufficiently insured for life and health.

Happy Investing!!

Relationship

Hello Madam, i am 38 year married women, having a 15year 1 kid boy ( but my husband not loving me even he is not talking with me from the last 8 years but we r leaving together due to our son, he fulfilled the need with the responsibilities of our home and our son but as wife he is not talking and even not caring to me ,but before 2 years back one married man come to talk with me he is my official colleague and we both attached a lot with each other after some days he proposed me and said that he is loving me many years ago but he thought that i am very Strick person will not response him, but now he is saying that he wants me as a life partner me also every time he treat me like a wife very much caring and loving nature now i introduce him to my family as a friend and family members also very happy with taking to him, we are from 2 year together is it good or what should i do further?

Ans: Dear Ruta,
You want to get into a relationship with a married man? Will that not complicate your already complicated life?
You certainly deserve to be loved and taken care of BUT do not jump towards a married man...you do understand that his priorities will lie with his first family and this will hurt you again and you will feel neglected AGAIN...

What is he planning with his marriage? Does his wife know about your relationship? Is he going to end his marriage and then marry you? These questions need answers and then you can decide for yourself keeping in mind that you need to take of yourself emotionally in this second association.

All the best!

Hi sir. I left my company 3 years ago, even when my resignation was not accepted, and the PF accumulated is in the trust of that organization. How do I withdraw or transfer the PF amount?

Ans: Hello;

You may approach the HR department of your previous employer and discuss possible way out of the situation.

Regret if your exit was abrupt and improper.

Their is no harm in apologising for any wrong action especially if it can help build bridges and resolve open issues amicably.

Hi Sir, I'm 44 years old with a monthly expense of 60k. I have 14 year old boy studying in 9th std. I have a corpus of 1.5 cr and a passive income of 30k per month which I expect to continue for next 10 years. Please let me know how much corpus is required for retirement if I want to retire now and for son's education. I have my own house and no loans as of now and have a decent health insurance. Expecting your valuable response. Thank you

Ans: Hello;

You may invest 50 L into an Arbitrage type mutual fund (low risk) earmarked for your son's higher education.

For 1 Cr you may buy an immediate annuity from a life insurance company. Considering annuity rate of 6% you may expect to receive monthly payout of around 50 K.

So your total monthly income will be 50 K from annuity + 30 K passive income= 80 K pm.

After accounting for your monthly expenses of 60 K you have a surplus of 20 K which you may use to initiate a monthly sip into a pure equity mutual fund.

After 10 years this sip may grow into a corpus of around 50 L to top-up your retirement corpus.

Happy Investing;

Question by Srinivasan - Oct 15, 2024Hindi

Money

Dear Sir, My Age is 59 and investment is as follows: Stock market 1.2 Cr MFI 2.0 Cr Expectied pension from 2026 1,4L per month House : own house Loan liability is zero Responsibility: Marriage of two sons who finished PG My question is " above fund sufficient to take over for me and my wife for next 30 year (assuming life expectancy is 90 Years) Regards Srinivasan

Ans: Hello;

You may invest 20 L in Arbitrage type of mutual fund(low risk) earmarked for marriage of your sons.

Also you may invest 3 Cr into equity savings type mutual fund (moderate risk).

After 3 years it may grow into a sum of 3.89 Cr considering modest return of 9%.

I suggest that you redeem this corpus by paying LTCG(~11 L) and buy an immediate annuity for balance corpus of 3.78 Cr from a life insurance company.

I am not recommending you to do an SWP because for your required monthly income SWP rate will have to be 4.5%+ annually and I ran this on an swp calculator which shows depleted corpus of less then 1 Cr after 30 years.

Considering annuity rate of 6% you may expect to receive monthly payment of 1.89 L(pre-tax).

Seek joint annuity for yourself and your spouse with return of purchase price to your nominees.

Some life insurers offer increasing annuity at fixed intervals to account for inflation.

Also if you shop around and negotiate you may get a better annuity rate.

Happy Investing!!
