I am 34 year old planning for long term investment and wealth creation, may be around 15 years. Currently I have 2 sips

Tata Digital India fund direct growth 5k

Quant tax plan direct growth 3k

Please suggest some good MF for future.

Ans:

1. UTI Flexi Cap Fund -- Growth
2. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund -- Growth
3. Axis ESG Equity Fund -- Growth
4. Motilal Oswal Focused 25 Fund -- Growth

These funds will provide for the life requirements, however for the retirement corpus when you reach 57 / 58 years in age to reduce the volatility in the corpus shift to Debt Funds (Couple of Banking and PSU and one Corporate Bond Fund) along a Hybrid Balanced advantage fund

Ans: You may consider Axis ESG Equity Fund (Growth) and Motilal Oswal Focused 25 Fund (Growth).

 

Ans: there is a nice option in case if you are a director in any company, where in whatever you will invest on per annum basis, same amount would be received back by you from 12 th year onwards till next 30 years.
Eg. If you invest 1 lac for say 10 years, so from 11th year end, you will start receiving 1 lac for next 30 years and at the end of 30 years, you will receive back your investment. You can add nominee in this process too.
Risk cover is 10 times of your yly investment.

the above option may best suit you looking at your profile.

If you are salaried person, and if you can spare 20 k, HDFC Micro Fund may be the nice option from available option in my opinion. As a thumb rule, please pull out your investment every 5 years and change the form, from MF to property or gold and keep continue to invest in MF as well.

Ans: Planning for Your Future: Retirement, Education & Growth
At 44, you're making a smart move by planning for your future goals: retirement, child's education, and long-term wealth creation. A single mutual fund might not be the best fit for all these needs, but let's explore some options:

Diversification is Key

Since your goals have different time horizons (retirement is farther away than your child's education), it's wise to diversify your investments. This means spreading your money across different asset classes to manage risk.

Actively Managed Funds for Growth

Given your long-term perspective and willingness to take on some risk, actively managed funds can be a good option. Here's why:

Outperforming the Market: Actively managed funds have fund managers who try to pick promising stocks and beat the market average. This has the potential for higher returns compared to passively managed options like index funds.
Matching Risk to Goals

Here's a possible approach to consider, but remember, this is general advice:

Retirement (Long Term): Invest a larger portion (say 60-70%) in aggressive actively managed funds like multi-cap funds. These invest in a mix of large, mid, and small-cap companies, offering growth potential along with diversification.

Child's Education (Mid Term): Allocate a mid-range portion (say 20-30%) to a balanced actively managed fund. These funds balance between equity and debt, offering some growth potential with a lower risk profile compared to aggressive funds.

Remember, your situation is unique. A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) can help you create a personalized asset allocation plan based on your risk tolerance and specific goals.

Rs. 1 Lakh Lump Sum Investment

A lump sum investment of Rs. 1 lakh can be a great way to jumpstart your investment journey. Consider investing across different actively managed funds based on your asset allocation plan.

Regular Investment (SIP) is Powerful

Don't stop with the lump sum! Regular investments (SIPs) can be a powerful tool for long-term wealth creation. Even a small amount invested regularly can benefit from rupee-cost averaging, where you purchase more units when the price is low and fewer units when the price is high.

A CFP Can Help You:

Choose the Right Funds: They can recommend actively managed funds with a good track record and experienced fund managers.

Asset Allocation: They can advise on the right mix of asset classes (multi-cap, balanced, etc.) for your goals.

Review and Rebalance: A CFP will monitor your progress and adjust your asset allocation as needed to stay on track.

Taking Charge of Your Tomorrow

By planning and investing for your future, you're taking control of your tomorrow. Actively managed funds within a diversified portfolio can be a powerful tool for growth, but remember, they also carry risk. A CFP can help you navigate your options and make informed investment decisions.
