Money

Hello Sir, I currently have ?5 lacs sitting idle in my savings account and I'm looking for the best way to manage this money considering my financial situation and future needs. Here's a breakdown of my financial state: - Investments: Already invests in equity mutual funds monthly with a long-term horizon. - Insurance: Covered with both health and term insurance. - Emergency Fund: Have 6 months' worth of expenses saved. - Monthly Savings: After all expenses and SIP contributions, I save an additional ?30k each month. - I have an additional ?4 lacs in another bank account for immediate expenses if needed. Personally would like to categorise investments in two categories: - Non-redeemable Mutual Funds: Invest & forget. For a 10-15 year investment horizon. Let compounding do the magic in long term. - Redeemable Mutual Funds: Low to moderate risk. Safer options that offer better returns than FDs, ensuring at least the buying power of the money doesn't decrease / beats inflation. Goals for the Idle Money + additional ?30k savings each month: I might need to access this money in the next 2-5 years, or I might not. I'm considering placing it in redeemable mutual funds category (mentioned above), so I can withdraw if necessary for future expenses. Given this scenario, I’m looking for recommendations on specific types of mutual funds that meet these criteria. Any advice on managing these funds effectively would be greatly appreciated!

Ans: You may consider investing in Equity Savings mutual fund to match your expectations

You can do lumpsum for the idle money and SIP for the monthly saving

They are tax efficient because taxation is like an equity fund although they invest almost equal amount in equity, bonds and arbitrage

Relatively less riskier then the equity funds

*Investments in mutual funds are subject to market risks. Please read all scheme related documents carefully before investing

Career

My brother is doing B. Pharma from kiit. What are career opportunities for B pharma graduates?

Ans: Hi,

After completing B.Pharm, there are relatively few opportunities compared to pursuing a postgraduate degree in pharmacy. I don't have an idea about your financial background, but if you are good at interacting with people, you can consider a career in marketing and sales, which offers many advantages.

The advantages of choosing marketing and sales include:
1. Good earning potential (more than INR 6.0 LPA)
2. After 3 years, you can pursue an MBA through distance education.
3. After 3 years, you can transition from field work to the product department (usually as a product executive), where you can guide the sales representatives.
4. After 5 years of experience in marketing, you can start your own third-party marketing company.

On the other hand, if you join another field, you may receive lower pay due to having only an undergraduate degree.

So, I strongly recommend considering a career in marketing and sales.

I am a student and I'm planning to take an educational loan of 20 lacs and then invest 12 lac in mutual funds to clear the loan amount after 5 years so is it fine to have that decision?

Ans: Hello, that can be a good idea on paper, provided you know that you will get a job after 2 years of studying and you can start with your EMI immediately. Just to put it in numbers :
Loan amount after 2 yrs at 9% - Rs.2376200
EMI will start after 2 yrs , lets assume you select 5 yrs, so the total interest cost will be - Rs.583360
Total Interest = 959560
Value of 12L after 7yrs at 13% cagr = Rs.2823126

VS the second option of taking a loan of 8L and having the same scenario , the interest cost will be = 150480 + 233409 = 383889

Hence by taking a loan of 20L and investing 12L in equity MF for 7 yrs total is a much more beneficial option

My daughter 12th science passed with PCB got average percentage we decide for B.pharm .please advise me is this xorrect decision and with this which courses can do in running time for best earnings

Ans: Hello
Even though your daughter scored an average %tage, she can join to B.Pharma course. This is one of the best choices for female candidates. Your decision is correct. Right now, it is not possible to earn based on any course in the running time. She can join any office as a part-time assistant for a few months till she completes any additional certificate course from an earning point of view. There are many certificate courses available in the market. Based on her interest, pl choose one of them of short duration and with minimum fees. Once it is completed, she can get a part-time job to start earning. But it is advisable that, instead of looking for short-term gain, tell her to focus more on her studies and excel in the subjects. Otherwise, if a candidate starts earning at an early age, lose concentration and focus on their studies.

Sir, I am currently in 12th and have taken PCM. I am interested in NDA, but I am unable to find alternate career options. Please suggest some career options in case I am unable to get through NDA.

Ans: Hello

You are in 12th and have taken PCM. One of the aims is to go for NDA but you are in a dilemma whether you will get it or not.
It would be suggestible for you that, please focus on the engineering entrance tests (either state or national level). Try to crack it. If not successful, then you try other options. To think of other options, you have ample time. Many career options can be easily explored after the 12th board + CET + JEE examinations. Please contact me after the exam is over. Based on the score (either good or bad) better options can be suggested to you. Best of luck with your upcoming examinations.

Money

I have 10 lakh rupees which I want invest in MF. Please suggest some fund for lump sum amount to invest for 1 and half years.

Ans: Dear Friend,
Thank you for your query. 1.5 Years is a very short time for getting high returns. Investing Rs 10 lakhs in mutual funds for a short-term horizon of 1.5 years requires a cautious approach. For such small period, you should look for low to moderate-risk funds that offer stability with reasonable returns, as investing in high-risk equity funds might be too volatile for a short time frame. Since your investment horizon is just 1.5 years, avoid high-risk equity mutual funds as they can be volatile in the short term. Check for exit loads and tax implications before investing. Most short-term capital gains (if you withdraw before 3 years) from debt funds are taxed according to your income tax slab.
You have to evaluate your risk Appetite , Short-Term Debt Funds are invested in government securities, corporate bonds, and other debt instruments with short maturities, offering stability and moderate returns. For a 1.5-year investment, these are ideal as they are less volatile. you can expect 5-7% per annum Returns. You can think of
• ICICI Prudential Short Term Fund
• HDFC Short Term Debt Fund
• Axis Short Term Fund
• ICICI Prudential Corporate Bond Fund
• HDFC Corporate Bond Fund
• Aditya Birla Sun Life Corporate Bond Fund.
