Dear Sir, Iam 51 and I have been investing in diversified mutual funds since last 10 years and accumulated around Rs 1.28 Crores and continuing SIP's in following funds. Quant Large cap - Rs 9000, SBI Health care fund - Rs 5000, UTI Flexi cap fund - Rs 5000, Kotak Flexi cap fund - Rs 13000, Mirae asset hybrid equity fund - Rs 8000. I have also accumulated corpus of Rs 13 lakhs in NPS tier 1 and doing SIP of Rs 5000 every months. Further i have combine corpus of Rs 43 Lakhs in EPF and PPF accounts. I have invested Rs 4.72 Lakhs in 20 Year bonds of HUDCO, PFC tax free bonds in 2013 and receiving Rs 42000 every year as interest. I want to have Rs 50000 every month from the above from next year. I will try to continue SIP's till next 2-3 years from other expected incomes from parents.Iam also getting Rs 15000 per month as rent and do not have nay debt.
Ans: Dear Srinivasa,

First of all, congratulations on your disciplined investment approach over the past decade. You have built a considerable corpus that should serve you well in the coming years.

Based on the information you provided, you currently have:

Mutual Funds: Rs 1.28 Crores
NPS (Tier 1): Rs 13 Lakhs
EPF and PPF: Rs 43 Lakhs
HUDCO and PFC Bonds: Rs 4.72 Lakhs (Rs 42,000 annual interest)
Rental Income: Rs 15,000 per month
Your goal is to generate Rs 50,000 per month starting next year.

Here's a suggested plan:

Continue your SIPs in mutual funds for the next 2-3 years, as you mentioned. This will help your corpus grow even further.
Utilize the interest income from the HUDCO and PFC bonds (Rs 42,000 per year) as a part of your desired Rs 50,000 per month. You can reinvest the interest income in a liquid fund or a short-term debt fund to ensure its availability when needed.
You can consider allocating a portion of your mutual fund corpus to a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) in order to generate the remaining monthly income needed. Assuming you require Rs 50,000 per month (Rs 6 Lakhs per year), you can use a small portion of your Rs 1.28 Crores corpus to fund this. Start the SWP next year to meet your monthly income requirement.
Your rental income of Rs 15,000 per month will serve as an additional source of income, which can be used to cover any unforeseen expenses or to reinvest in your portfolio.
It's advisable to keep your EPF and PPF investments intact until maturity, as they provide a safe and tax-efficient option for long-term wealth creation.
Please remember that the above plan is only a suggestion, and you should consult with a certified financial planner to create a personalized plan based on your specific financial situation and goals.

Wishing you the best in your financial journey.

Warm regards,

Hi Gurus, I'm 37+, monthly take home salary 2.17 Lakhs, married (wife working, earning decent salary, no kid as of yet). I contribute 32.4k pm (12% EPF + 10% VPF) towards PF (balance ~27 Lakhs), 14.7k pm towards NPS as Employer's contribution + 50k yearly towards Tier2 (balance ~11.6 Lakhs), 1.5 Lakhs yearly towards PPF (balance ~11.3 Lakhs) and have couple of LIC plans with SA ~11 lakhs maturing in 10 years. I also have MF SIP of 50k pm as below (total portfolio value ~19.7 Lakhs with small holdings in International Funds) which I wish to top up by 15% every year. 1. Kotak Small Cap - 3000 2. Axis Small Cap - 3000 3. Edelweiss Mid Cap - 3000 4. PGIM Mid Cap - 3000 5. PGIM Flexi Cap - 3000 6. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap - 5000 7. Quant Active Fund - 5000 8. Edelweiss Bal. Advtg. Fund - 3000 9. Mirae Assets L&M Cap - 5000 10. Canara Robeco Emerging Equity - 3000 11. Canara Robeco Bluechip - 3000 12. SBI Focused Equity - 5000 13. ICICI Pru. Focused Equity - 3000 14. Edelweiss US Tech ETF FoF - 3000 I have my own loan free home, health insurance from the company, no term insurance and a liquid emergency fund of 12 Lakhs. My average monthly expenses are around 1.3 Lakhs. I know I'm heavily into equity without having the balance of Debt or Gold, but for that reason I contribute towards FI instruments like PF, PPF as much as possible. Also I'm aware that my MF portfolio has become over diversified over the years. My ultimate financial target is to accumulate 10cr by my late 50s. Could you please suggest how far or diverted I am from my target and what all adjustments should I make to my overall investment portfolio.
Ans: ou have a well-diversified investment portfolio with a strong focus on equity through both mutual funds and retirement savings. However, there are a few areas you may consider adjusting:

Diversification: While equity can provide high returns over the long term, ensure you have adequate diversification across asset classes. Consider allocating a portion of your portfolio to debt instruments like bonds or fixed deposits for stability.

Insurance: Since you don't have term insurance, consider purchasing a policy to provide financial security to your dependents in case of any unfortunate event.

Review MF Portfolio: Consolidate and streamline your mutual fund holdings to avoid over-diversification. Focus on high-quality funds with proven track records and consider reducing the number of funds to simplify your portfolio management.

Goal Planning: Reassess your financial goals and time horizon periodically to ensure your investments are aligned with your objectives. Consider seeking professional advice to develop a comprehensive financial plan tailored to your needs.

Regular Review: Continuously monitor the performance of your investments and make adjustments as necessary to stay on track towards your long-term financial goals.

By making these adjustments and staying disciplined in your investment approach, you can work towards achieving your target of accumulating 10 crores by your late 50s.

Hi Mam, Hope you are doing well. I am very worried about my son who is now 12.5 years old and studying in 7th standard in a very reputed school. Since childhood, he has no interest in studies, unless we doesn't seat in front of him, he doesn't study. Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class and the result is he doesn't get good marks in the exam. When we scold him for studies, he does it for that particular time only and then get back to his non-interest mode again and start to run from studies. He will play video games, goes to play around with his friends, he will find some or the other reason for not doing studies or homework. The irony is that he is not interested in any sports or any other kind of activities. In every summer holidays, we make him to join some sports or music classes, but there also he doesn't show interest and do things just for the sake of showing. From last year, we have started sending him to tuitions also, but no change in attitude. This year we have found a teacher of his reputed school who is retired and taking tuitions, we are sending him to her and she is charging a big amount for tuitions. please guide how can we change his attitude and make him more serious in any activity he does as he doesn't have interest in anything (we have observed doing everything we can).
Ans: Hello Sunil!!

I am doing great, thank you for asking, God bless you!

I can totally understand when you say you are worried.

Your son is 12.5, he will soon be a teenager. There will be different challenges, I want you to read up on parenting a teenager and be ready to handle him well.

The problem as I see it is that everyone of you, his teachers included have made studies like a burden for him.... and subjected the young child to a lot of anxiety, he just wants to run away form it....
"Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class".... this statement of yours... it is the teacher's duty to ensure the child listens to him/her, how can she start labeling a child like this. From a young age your son has been conditioned to believe that he is not not good in studies, he doesn't focus and he doesn't sit in one place. All my sympathies are with your son...every child comes with immense potential and it's our duty as parents and teachers to nurture the child.

The following is what I propose so that we bring him back to loving to learn ( not score marks, that should never be the barometer)-
1. Love your child the way he is now
2. Give him lot of positive strokes
3. Have one on one sessions for any activity you plan for him... let him choose the activity, empower him
4. choose a teacher, who can get along with him and help him develop a positive attitude towards studies and life in general
5. look for a school where they nurture him... not just a reputed one...less number of students and a teacher who is invested in her/ his students,

If you can connect with me, I can help him. Have had many a students in this kind situation.
