I am 19 th aged now and wants to retire with 10 cr at 35 age please suggest my investment instruments allocation not matter aggressive risk taking
Ans: Wanting to retire with a significant corpus at 35 is an ambitious goal! Here's a suggested investment strategy to help you achieve it:

Equity Investments (70-80%): Allocate a significant portion of your investments to equity for long-term growth potential. Consider diversified equity mutual funds or index funds for exposure to the stock market. Since you're comfortable with aggressive risk-taking, you can explore mid-cap and small-cap funds for higher growth potential.
Debt Investments (20-30%): Allocate a smaller portion to debt instruments like fixed deposits, bonds, or debt mutual funds for stability and capital preservation. This helps mitigate risk and provides a buffer during market downturns.
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP): Invest regularly through SIPs to benefit from rupee-cost averaging and the power of compounding over the long term.
Regular Review and Rebalancing: Periodically review your portfolio's performance and rebalance as needed to maintain your desired asset allocation and risk level.
Financial Education: Continuously educate yourself about investing, personal finance, and market trends to make informed decisions and adapt to changing market conditions.
Remember, achieving a 10 Cr corpus by 35 requires disciplined saving, prudent investing, and patience. Consulting a Certified Financial Planner can provide personalized guidance and help you navigate the complexities of investing to reach your ambitious goal.

Ans: It's impressive that you're thinking about retirement at such a young age! Starting early gives you a significant advantage in building wealth over time. Here's a suggested allocation for your investment instruments to aim for a retirement corpus of 10 crores by the age of 35:

Equity Investments (70-80%):
Invest a major portion of your portfolio in equity instruments like mutual funds, stocks, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These offer the potential for high returns over the long term. Consider diversified equity funds across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap segments to spread risk.
Allocate around 70-80% of your investment portfolio to equity for higher growth potential.
Debt Instruments (10-20%):
Allocate a smaller portion of your portfolio to debt instruments like fixed deposits, bonds, or debt mutual funds. These provide stability and act as a buffer against market volatility.
Aim to allocate around 10-20% of your portfolio to debt instruments to balance risk and provide steady income.
Alternative Investments (10%):
Consider allocating a small portion of your portfolio to alternative investments like real estate investment trusts (REITs), gold, or other alternative assets. These can provide diversification and act as a hedge against inflation.
Allocate around 10% of your portfolio to alternative investments for added diversification.
Remember, asset allocation should be based on your risk tolerance, investment goals, and financial situation. Regularly review and rebalance your portfolio to stay aligned with your objectives and adjust as needed. Consider consulting with a financial advisor to create a personalized investment plan tailored to your specific needs and aspirations. Starting early and staying disciplined will put you on the path towards achieving your retirement goal of 10 crores by the age of 35.

Sir as I previously take your view about my situation...sir you tell that in love understanding between partner is important.but sir my partner doesn't want to talk with me.I just never think that he will give up so easily.
Ans: It’s interesting, isn’t it, how relationships often mirror the patterns of communication we create within them? When one partner feels distant or unwilling to talk, it’s less about them giving up and more about a shift in the way they’ve been feeling understood—or misunderstood.

You see, communication isn’t just about words; it’s about emotions, intentions, and the unspoken messages we convey. If your partner isn’t talking, perhaps they’re saying something without words. And that’s where curiosity becomes your ally.

Instead of focusing on the silence, what if you shifted your attention to understanding what that silence represents? Maybe it’s disappointment, frustration, or even fear. But the key is, you can’t solve what you assume—it’s about discovering what’s really there.

And let me ask you this: if you were to step into their shoes for a moment—just imagine being them—what might they feel? What might they need to hear from you, or perhaps sense from your presence, that could bring a spark of connection back into the conversation?

Love is rarely about giving up. It’s about learning to communicate in a way that feels safe and understood. And if you’re willing to stay open, willing to listen to the quiet messages, you may find a new way forward—one step at a time.

Hi Mr. Ramalingam, Can I check New Asset class (Specialized Investment Fund SIF) for 10 lakhs investment for my kids education(Right now 4months old). Thank you for your response.
Ans: Investing Rs 10 lakhs for your child’s education is a thoughtful decision.

Your child is 4 months old, so you have a long investment horizon.

Currently, SIF is not yet launched or operational.

Equity Mutual Funds: A Reliable Option
Equity mutual funds are proven for long-term goals like education.

They offer inflation-beating growth over a 15-18 year period.

Start investing now to benefit from compounding.

Choose funds with a consistent track record.

Wait and Observe SIF Performance
SIF is a new asset class and lacks a performance track record.

It’s wise to wait for its launch and review its stability.

Assess the fund's returns, risk profile, and management quality.

Investing in an untested asset could increase risks unnecessarily.

Diversify Investments Over Time
Initially, focus on equity mutual funds for growth.

Later, as SIF stabilises and performs well, consider it.

Diversify across asset classes gradually based on market insights.

Final Insights
Begin with equity mutual funds for your child’s education fund.

Monitor SIF's launch and performance over the next few years.

Decide on SIF only after it demonstrates a solid track record.

Keep your investments aligned with your long-term goals.

I& my wife is 32. What would our ideally retirement corps. I assume 20Cr. Correct me if I'm wrong. My current saving & income are below - 1) Rs 2,40,000 take home per month combined. 2) We both have PPF for the last 7 years contributing 1.5L each year from starting and plans to continue till 60. 3) LIC will give us 2Cr when we hit 60. 4) NPS we contribute 1L per each year form 2022 combined plans continue till 60. 5) Mutual Fund of SIP Rs 10,000 each month for last 1 year combined plans continue till 60. 6) APY we will get 5000 per month at 60. 7) FDs of Rs 36Lakh 8) Gold of Rs 15Lakh bonds 9) Got Inherited Rs 1.6Cr in form of FDs 10) Have Medeclaim of 40Lakhs and have own house. 11) Monthly expenses is around 40,000. 12) Have 1 year old Kid. 13) Have PF of 8 lakhs and will grow till 60. Also taking Gratuity in account.
Ans: Hello;

Your current monthly income need of 2.4 L will grow up to 12.27 L after 28 years (At your retirement age of 60) considering 6% inflation.

Assuming your expenses at retirement will reduce so you may need 75% of this income to cover your expenses at that time therefore you may need a monthly income of 9.2 L.

To generate this income you may need a corpus of 27 Cr(Min.) at the age 60 that may generate post-tax monthly income of around 9.2 L.

Your investments will grow as follows,

1. PPF: 1.5 L per person per year for 35 years will grow into a corpus of around 4.32 Cr. (6.9% return assumed)

2. LIC: policy maturity proceeds will provide 2 Cr at age 60.

3. NPS: 1 L per person per year may grow into a sum of 2.5 Cr at 60.(8% return considered)

4. MF sip of 10 K may grow into a sum of 2.05 Cr at 60. (10% return considered)

5. FD of 36 L will grow into a sum of 2.1 Cr if held till 60. (6.5% return assumed)

6. Gold in form of bonds if reinvested into gold mutual funds and held till 60 may yield a corpus of around 1.1 Cr. (7% return assumed)

7. Inherited funds if held in FD till the age of 60 may yield a corpus of 9.9 Cr.
(6.5% return considered)

8. EPF is expected to grow into a sum of around 1.8 Cr at the age of 60.(7% return considered)

A summation of investment values at 60 indicates a sum of around 25.77 Cr thereby hinting at a gap of around 1.23 Cr.

You may begin another monthly sip of 7 K now which may grow into a sum of around 1.3 Cr by 60 age.(10% return assumed)

If the mediclaim policy is from employer, do buy a personal health care cover after 50-55 for your family for post retirement needs.

I presume you both have adequate term life insurance cover apart from LIC policy.

The financial goal for your kid's education and family expansion, if any, is not factored here. You may need to plan for it suitably.

Also it appears that your allocation to equity is quite low, may be due to limited risk appetite but you have time on your side and although short to medium term(5-7 yr) equity asset class may be impacted due to volatility but over a long-term(10 yr+) they have demonstrated good inflation adjusted returns so may be you may consider to increase allocation through hybrid funds suiting your risk appetite.

Happy Investing;
