Son studying in last year B Tech computer. At present upto 3rd year CGPA is 9.15. Interested to study Masters in Data Science or AI ML in Canada in Ontario. Suggest courses and university.

Ans: Hello Rajender,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear about your son’s plans on pursuing his Master's in Data Science or AI/ML in Ontario, Canada. One of the most sought-after study abroad destinations, Canada experiences the influx of a large number of international students each year. Ontario, on the other hand is home to a number of outstanding universities that provide programs in the fields of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning. I would suggest that you son considers the following Canadian universities and courses:

The University of Waterloo offers a Master of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (MDSAI) degree that emphasizes on Artificial Intelligence as well as Data Science. The Master of Management Analytics program at Queen’s University concentrates on the use of analytics in professional environments. This degree is best suited for jobs in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). At Carleton University in Ottawa, your son can pursue Master’s of Computer Science along with a specialized program in Data Science. The Master of Science in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is offered at McGill University situated in Montreal, Quebec. Your son can also consider pursuing Master of Science in Applied Computing at the University of Toronto. This degree, with a strong emphasis on the theory and applied components of computer science allows one to specialize in ML and Data Mining. Situated in Vancouver, British Columbia, and not in Ontario, the University of British Columbia offers students the Master of Data Science program to pursue. This degree offers an all-round data science education.

I would recommend that you son conducts an extensive study on the curriculum of the above mentioned programs, as well as takes into account the admission prerequisites, faculty expertise, and available research possibilities when selecting universities. He should also consider any recent alterations or updates in admission requirements.

Hello finance guru, I am 45 years old , with 2 kids. I live in a Tier-1 city with ~49 Crores of networth. This includes ~12 crores of investment in real estate (land and a flat at a prime location), ~34 crores in equity, ~1 Cr in Crypto and ~2 Cr in cash. I work in a pharmaceutical firm in an executive role and planning to retire in the next 1 year. My knowledge on finances is average and would like to seek your advise. I would like to generate ~2.5 lakhs per month for expenses from my savings and would like to double my networth in the next 7 years. Could you provide me help on the directions I can take to make this working?
Ans: Hello;

Deducting the real estate and crypto investments from your networth, we have 36 Cr.

You may invest 4 Cr each in 2 equity savings type mutual funds and 2 conservative hybrid debt oriented mutual funds.

If you do a 3% SWP from each of these funds you may expect a monthly payout of around 2.8 L (post-tax).

These funds generally yield 8-9% returns so they will continue to provide inflation adjusted income to you.(6% inflation rate considered)

Balance remains around 20 Cr, while 2 Cr may be retained as liquid fund for contingency requirement, the balance 18 Cr you may invest in combination of mutual funds, PMSs and AIFs.

As you enter retirement phase your focus should shift from "maximising returns" to "decent returns with moderate risk" since return of capital is more important than return on capital.

Happy Investing;

Dear Sir, I am 53 yrs. I want to retire @60 with a INR 2.00 Cr Corps. Currently I have following SIP Total SIP 30000/- PM Axis Bluechip Fund - Regular Plan - Growth HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities Fund - Growth Plan Aditya Birla Sun Life Pure Value Fund - Growth Option Aditya Birla Sun Life Equity Advantage Fund - Regular Growth Sundaram Mid Cap Fund Regular Plan - Growth Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund -Regular Plan-Growth Franklin India Focused Equity Fund - Growth Plan Franklin India Smaller Companies Fund-Growth HDFC Top 100 Fund - Growth Option HDFC Multi Cap Fund - Growth Option I have MF Investment @ 26.00 Lakh Current Value is @ 52.00 Lakh. I have Savings of Rs. 10.00 Lakh, PPF Rs. 5.00 Lakh, Share investment Current Market Value around Rs. 20.00 Lakhs. I don't have any Loan. Insurance INR 1.50 Cr. up age of 70. Per month earning around Rs. 1.25 Lakh. I have a Investment in real estate which can give my INR 40.00 Lakh at current Market Price & Gold Investment of INR 20.00 Lakh which I think sufficient for my daughter Marriage. Current Monthly Expense INR 40-50 K. I am in a new tax regime, so discontinue my ELSS saving and PPF Saving. Suggest how i can increase my Corpus for retirement.
Ans: Hello;

You may top-up your monthly sip by 10% every year for 7 years. This will grow into a sum of around 0.51 Cr.

The MF corpus and direct equity holdings worth 0.72 Cr today will grow into a corpus of 1.59 Cr after 7 years.

Therefore you may achieve your intended corpus of 1.59+ 0.51=2.1 Cr, 7 years from now. A modest return of 12% is assumed from MF and direct equity holdings.

2-3 years before 60 you should start moving your gains from equity funds to liquid or ultra short duration debt funds to protect it against market volatility.

Also good health care insurance for yourself and your spouse.

RE property you may sell at a later date to boost your retirement income.

Happy Investing;
