PGIM India equity savings fund growth (1500) I am planning to invest for 15-20yrs , and I also increase my investment 5% annually Pls suggest these funds? are good for my portfolio and how much corpus I reach

Ans: For a corpus of Rs. 30 lakhs in 5 -6 years, the monthly investment required is Rs. 30000 to Rs. 35000. There is no permanent portfolio. We need to review as our hard earned money is invested.

Few funds that can be considered are:

1. UTI flexi cap fund – Growth.    

2. Parag Parikh Flexi cap - Growth

3. Samco Flexi Cap – Growth

4. Axis Esg Equity Fund Regular Growth

5. Hdfc Index Fund - Sensex Plan - Growth

Ans: Hello Bhagat. Your portfolio assessment appears to be in good condition. The portfolio selection looks to be carefully calibrated to and matched with the market.  Assuming that your time horizon is at least 10 years, 95k SIP seems appropriate for achieving a corpus of 2.5 crore for multiple investment objectives.

Ans: Dear Kapil,

I appreciate your proactive approach towards building wealth for the future. I must say that you have chosen a diversified set of mutual funds which is a good start towards achieving your financial goals.

To begin with, your investment of Rs. 28,000 per month towards mutual funds is a commendable step towards wealth creation. Assuming a yearly growth rate of 12%, you can potentially reach your target of 2 Crore in the next 15 years.

Coming to your mutual fund portfolio, the HDFC Children's Gift Fund has a lock-in period of five years, which is ideal if you are investing for your child's education or marriage. However, you may consider shifting your investments to the HDFC Hybrid Equity Fund or HDFC Equity Fund, which have delivered good returns historically and have a lower lock-in period.

The ICICI Prudential Midcap Fund and ICICI Prudential Multicap Fund are excellent choices for investing in mid-cap and multi-cap funds, respectively. The Axis Bluechip Fund is a good option for investing in blue-chip companies, while the Axis Focused 25 Fund and SBI Focused Equity Fund are suitable for investing in focused portfolios.

Overall, your mutual fund portfolio seems to be well diversified, and you may consider making minor tweaks to it based on your risk appetite and investment goals. As always, it's essential to consult with your financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

I hope this helps!
