Kindly suggest if i would be able to achieve the goals in next 10 years,and changes if required any Regards Manoj

Ans: Hello Manoj,

It's great to see that you've been disciplined with your investments and have built a sizable corpus already. To assess if your current investments will help you achieve your goals of 8 crores in the next 10 years, let's take a closer look at your financial situation and goals.

Current Investments:
Mutual Funds: ~30.5 lakhs
Direct stocks: 30k
LIC policies and term insurance: Not considered for investment purposes
Bank FDs: 27 lakhs
PPF: 3 lakhs
Total: ~60.5 lakhs
Monthly SIP investments: ~45k
Now let's analyze your goals:

Children's marriage and education: 2 crores
Buying a home: 2 crores
Retirement life (in 10 years): 4 crores
Total: 8 crores
Assuming an average annual return of 12% on your equity investments, here's a rough projection of your portfolio's growth:

Current investments (60.5 lakhs) in 10 years: ~1.87 crores
Monthly SIPs (45k) in 10 years: ~1.05 crores
Total: ~2.92 crores
Based on this calculation, you would not reach your goal of 8 crores in the next 10 years. However, you can consider making some changes to improve your chances:

Reassess your goals: Consider if your goals are realistic and if there's any flexibility in the amounts or timelines.
Increase your SIP investments: As your salary increases, try to increase your SIP investments to accelerate your portfolio's growth.
Rebalance your portfolio: Regularly review your portfolio to ensure it's aligned with your risk appetite and financial goals. This may involve reducing the number of funds or shifting the allocation between equity and debt.
Monitor fund performance: Keep an eye on the performance of your funds and consider replacing underperforming ones.
Remember that financial planning is an ongoing process, and it's essential to periodically review and adjust your strategy. It's also a good idea to consult with a professional financial advisor to get personalized advice for your specific situation. While it might be challenging to achieve 8 crores within 10 years, these suggestions may help you get closer to your goals.

Best regards,

Sir i want to invest in mfs with a time horizon of 25to30years, kindly suggest me my age 27years i invested just few days ago i have keeping 15000rs saving to keep mfs is correction sir and how much should investment i am farmer sir monthly i can save 15000rs please suggest sir 1) kotak emerging equity fund direct growth 2) Nippon india small cap fund direct growth 3) parag parikh flexi cap fund direct growth 4) ICICI prudential nifty pharma index fund direct idcw 5) Kotak nifty financial services ex bank index 6) quant multi asset fund direct growth

Ans: Considering your long-term investment horizon of 25-30 years and your risk appetite, your selection of mutual funds seems suitable. However, it's essential to ensure proper diversification across different asset classes and market segments to mitigate risk. Since you are a farmer and have a monthly savings capacity of Rs. 15,000, you can distribute your investments across these funds based on your risk tolerance and financial goals. Additionally, consider consulting with a financial advisor to fine-tune your investment strategy and ensure alignment with your objectives. Regularly review your portfolio's performance and make adjustments as needed to stay on track towards your goals.

Question by Altaf - May 08, 2024Hindi

Money

I am 48 yrs old l am investing 7k per month in MF from last 2 years. Rs 1000 each in DSP Multi Asset allocation fund. Canara robeco bluechip equity fund. Mirae asset large and midcap fund. Motilal oswal nifty next 50 index fund. Kotak Emerging equity fund. Quant smallcap fund. Parag parikh flexi cap fund. My horizon is 10 yrs.

Ans: That's a great start! Investing Rs. 7,000 monthly for the past 2 years shows discipline. Let's analyze your portfolio for your 10-year investment horizon.

Diversification is Key

Your portfolio has a good mix of fund types:

Multi-Asset: Provides diversification across asset classes for stability.
Large & Mid-Cap: Offers growth potential with established and growing companies.
Small-Cap: Carries more risk but has the potential for high returns.
Index Fund: Tracks a market index, offering market-related returns.
Actively Managed vs. Index Funds

While your Motilal Oswal Nifty Next 50 is an index fund, your other choices are likely actively managed. These funds have managers who try to outperform the market. This approach can be beneficial, but also carries inherent risks.

10-Year Timeframe Advantage

A 10-year horizon allows you to ride out market ups and downs. Equity funds, though volatile in the short term, have the potential for higher growth over the long term.

Points to Consider:

Overall Asset Allocation: Review the percentage allocation across each fund type to ensure it aligns with your risk tolerance.
Fund Performance: Track the performance of each fund and compare it to its benchmark.
Role of a CFP Professional

A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) professional can offer a more personalized assessment. They can help you:

Analyze Asset Allocation: Ensure your portfolio mix matches your risk tolerance and goals.
Review Fund Performance: Identify any underperforming funds and suggest adjustments.
Rebalance Regularly: Periodically rebalance your portfolio to maintain your desired asset allocation.
Remember:

Market performance can impact your returns. However, your diversified portfolio and long-term focus are positive steps.

Next Steps:

Consider consulting a CFP professional for a detailed portfolio review.
Monitor your fund performance and rebalance as needed.
Keep investing for the long term!

Sir actually we are confused to choose course between pharm D and BDS. kindly give us advice regarding the course and it's scope and future like job aur own business

Ans: BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) is an undergraduate program in dentistry, while PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy) is considered a postgraduate course. After completing a PharmD, one must consider pursuing a doctorate program, and there are currently no specializations available in India. However, abroad, you can claim expertise in a specific department.

On the other hand, after completing BDS, you can pursue a specialization at the postgraduate level and also have the opportunity to open your own clinic (ENTREPRENEUR) within 7 years and which is not possible with PharmD.
