Ans: Dear Anonymous,
The courtship phase is far from the marriage phase. During courtship, certain parts of the self go hidden in the eagerness of impressing the other person. Now, this usually is done unknowingly BUT when realoty hits, it feels like you have been cheated.
Instead of feeling disappointed and assuming that you need to do the worst, why don't you create situations where you start sharing by saying: "I would love for you to hear this..." OR "It means a lot when I feel heard..."

Roadblocks aren't the end of the world; you just learn to navigate around it to walk on a clear path.

All the best!

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I do understand that you are worried for your daughter. Yes, your son-in-law could have stated it clearly during the initial meetings that he wants to focus on his career. But...
But I do believe Couples Therapy can help break the wall between the couple; hopefully if the therapist helps your son-in-law with what exactly is bothering him.
Let them go through a couple of sessions and then you can talk to your daughter on whether there is any change in their connection or not.

All the best!

Ans: If you want to settle abroad, it would be advisable to do MBA from abroad. Identify the country you want to settle and check the courses available in that country that suits you. In India you can do Healthcare MBA or Pharma MBA from colleges like TISS, GIM, NMIMS, etc. You will have to write entrance exams for the same.

Ensure your international degree is recognized by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) if applying to certain public institutions, though most top private business schools recognize accredited international degrees.

Ans: Hi Sarvothama,

You are doing great with your iverall investments at such age. Early investment really helps you in the long run. Let us analyse everything in detail:
1. Make sure to have ample emrgency fund in FD or liquid funds.
2. You should have proper term insurance and health insurance for yourself and family. As your spouse is working, she should also have an independent term insurance.
3. 8 lakhs in FD - can be treated as your emergency fund.
4. 6 lakhs in PPF - not recommended as a=you must have your EPF being an IT Professional. PPF is just like EPF, hence make minimum contributions to keep the account active and close it when 15 years tenure is over.
5. Health policy - 5 lakhs >> insufficient keeping in mind rising medical costs. Increase it to a minimum of 25 lakhs family floater for yourself and spouse.
6. 15 lakhs PLI - continue.
7. 15 lakhs + 60k monthly SIP in mutual funds. Very good and you should continue. However, the funds chosen are not exactly great. Entire allocation needs a proper plan in alignment to your profile and long term goal. It is better to work with a professional to choose better funds for your 20+ years goal.
I will not recommend continuing your SIPs in - Quant ELSS, HDFC Retirement Savings, Nippon multi asset and Focused Equity fund.

Hence overall reallocation and distribution in required here.
Do 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.

Ans: Hi Ashish,

You have long 16 years till your retirement and proper guided investment can do wonders with your monthly SIPs.
Your concern regarding Nippon Small Cap fund is genuine but this is exactly how markets work. One cannot expect their money to double in an overnight. It needs patience and proper plan to generate even bare minimum of 12% annual return.

I see all the funds you invest in are direct funds. while direct funds are more preferred as they have lower expense ratio of about 0.5%, regular funds are better as they come with proper plan and guidance throughout.
Generating 2-4% returns in these types of direct funds v/s getting 12% return in regular funds - there is always an option.

However, continue with Nippon small cap, Parag Parikh Flexicap, and Motilal Oswal Midcap fund. Stop SIPs in other funds and work with a proper advisor to redirect these funds into better new funds.

Hence do 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.

Ans: Hi Srinivas,

The fund you mentioned is a sectoral fund and these works like this only. It is not recommended to invest blindly in a random fund and lose your hard earned money.
Stop this SIP and consult a professional to start afresh. Go for a multi cap fund.

Ans: Hi,

I understand that 3 of you come under salary bracket of 6 to 8 lakhs. And you want to know products suitable for you and both sons. Let us discuss pros and cons of each below along with other major necessities you should have:

- As a family, have a dedicated emergency fund of 6 months worth expenses in FD. If your monthly expense is 50k, have 3 lakhs FD and if monthly expense is 1 lakh, habe 6 lakhs worth FD. This fund will safeguard your expenses in case of any uncertain situation.
- As earning members, all of you should have a pure term cover of 1 crore each. Make sure to take proper term insurance and do not mix with any other rider / policy.
- Proper health insurance for family. Avoid mixing it with wealth policies and other policies. Buy proper health insurance for whole family. Can go for HDFC Ergo as it has the highest claim settlement ratio. Avoid going for cheaper premium policies.

Now, when these 3 requirements are done, start investing the surplus to meet your financial goals. Firstly, list all financial goals and invest.
- SBI Life policies - not recommended. Go for proper Term Insurance of Max Life or HDFC Life.
- Wealth Policies - not recommended as these come with high commission end products. It is always better to keep insurance and investment separate. One shall not expect insurance premiums as investment, insurance is always a cover against unforeseen risk and it should be kept like that.
Hence, do not mix your insurance with investment. Avoid all wealth policies and ULIPs and LIC policies.

For investment, choose the following:
- PPF - not recommended if you have an ongoing EPF.
- NPS - not for your sons as the amounts will be locked till 60 years.
- MF - recommended for all. you can choose from a variety of equity and debt instruments wrt your goals and risk capacity. It will generate upto 15% annual returns to meet your financial goals. Funds in MF is not locked and flexible.
- FD - use it only for emergency fund.
- Share market - not recommended. The way you will not google and cure yourself for an illness, same way you cannot google and invest. Take proper help.

You should work with an advisor who will understand your risk appetite and make an investment plan for your family.
Hence do 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.
