I have a tender from a giant company for electric cab on rental basis. How can i take debt funding or fund raising behalf of equity?

Ans: Shantanu,
It is not clear what is the nature of the tender / order that you have got. Nor have you given any idea of your company and your background including financial. It may be useful to talk to a couple of financial advisors to determine the best course of action

I’m Suresh from Ahmedabad. I’m 47 with one daughter, aged 15. I’ve been investing Rs 50,000 a month in equity mutual funds for the last 5 years. My goal is to accumulate Rs 2 crore for my daughter's education and our retirement. Am I on track, or do I need to adjust my portfolio?
Ans: Let's analyze your investment scenario and suggest possible adjustments:

Current Situation:

• Investment: Rs 50,000 monthly in equity mutual funds
• Tenure: 5 years
• Goal: Rs 2 crore for daughter's education and retirement
• Time Horizon: Assuming retirement in 20 years (when your daughter is 35)

Analysis:

• Accumulated Amount: Considering an average annual return of 12% (which is reasonable for equity funds over a long term), you would have accumulated approximately Rs 58.5 lakhs after 5 years.
• Gap to Goal: To reach Rs 2 crore in 15 years (remaining till retirement), you'd need an annual return of around 15%, which is achievable but might involve some volatility.

Recommendations:

• Increase Investment: To bridge the gap and account for potential market fluctuations, consider increasing your monthly investment by 15-20% to Rs 60,000-65,000.
• Review Portfolio: Ensure your equity fund portfolio is well-diversified across different sectors and market caps. This helps mitigate risk and capture potential growth opportunities.
• Consider Debt Funds: As your retirement nears, gradually allocate a portion of your investments (around 20-30%) to debt funds or hybrid funds. This provides some stability and reduces overall risk.
• Emergency Fund: Maintain an emergency fund of 3-6 months of your expenses in a liquid savings account or short-term debt funds to cover unexpected expenses.
• Regular Review: Review your portfolio periodically (at least annually) to assess its performance against your goals and make necessary adjustments.
• Remember: Investing in equity funds involves market risk, and returns are not guaranteed. It's essential to stay disciplined, invest for the long term, and consult with a financial advisor if needed.

Disclaimer: This analysis is based on assumptions and general market trends. It's always advisable to seek personalized advice from a qualified financial planner.
