I am 38 and I have invested in some MFs through SIPs and below are my active and stopped funds.

1. Principal Personal Tax Saver Fund -- Regular Plan, Growth: Rs 5,000 SIP (Active)
2. ABSL Tax Relief '96 Fund-ELSS -- IDCW-DIR Payout: Rs 1,000 SIP (Active)
3. Nippon India Tax Saver (ELSS) Fund -- IDCW-DIR Payout: Rs 1,000 SIP for 8 years (Stopped)
4. Tata India Tax Savings Fund Direct Plan -- IDCW: Rs 2,000 SIP (Active)
5. DSP Tax Saver Fund: Rs 1,000 SIP for 3 years (Stopped).
6. Franklin India Flexi Cap Fund -- Direct (Erstwhile Franklin India Equity Fund): Rs 1,000 SIP for 3 years (Stopped).

My plan is to invest an overall Rs 10,000 monthly SIP.

Kindly suggest if the current folio is correct or I need to stop some current (1, 2 & 4) and start stopped SIP (3,5 & 6).

Ans: Most of the funds are ELSS. If tax saving is the main objective, you may consider them. Else a few schemes that may be considered are Axis ESG Equity Fund (Growth), Motilal Oswal Focused 25 Fund (Growth), ICICI Prudential US Bluechip Equity Fund (Growth), SBI Magnum Global Fund (Growth) and DSP Quant Fund (Growth).

Ans: You've built a diverse portfolio with a mix of systematic investment plans (SIPs), lump-sum investments, and other financial instruments, showcasing your commitment to long-term wealth creation. Let's review your current holdings and make strategic adjustments to align with your financial goals:
1. SIP Review:
• Evaluate the performance and suitability of each SIP based on your investment objectives and risk tolerance.
• Consider consolidating or exiting SIPs with underperforming funds or overlapping strategies to streamline your portfolio.
2. Lump-Sum Investments:
• Assess the performance and outlook of your lump-sum investments to ensure they complement your overall investment strategy.
• Consider rebalancing or exiting investments that no longer align with your investment goals or risk profile.
3. Portfolio Rebalancing:
• Rebalance your portfolio to maintain an optimal asset allocation and manage risk effectively.
• Consider reallocating funds from underperforming or overweight sectors/funds to sectors/funds with better growth potential.
4. Exit Strategy:
• Identify funds or investments that are not performing as expected or do not align with your investment strategy.
• Develop an exit strategy to liquidate such investments gradually while minimizing any potential impact on your overall portfolio returns.
5. Alternative Investments:
• Explore alternative investment options such as debt instruments, real estate investment trusts (REITs), or international funds to diversify your portfolio further.
• Consider adding exposure to sectors or asset classes that offer growth potential while mitigating downside risks.
6. Risk Management:
• Review your risk management strategy to ensure adequate protection against market volatility and unforeseen events.
• Consider enhancing your insurance coverage, particularly health and life insurance, to safeguard your financial well-being and protect your loved ones.
7. Financial Planning:
• Continuously monitor your financial plan and make necessary adjustments based on changes in your life circumstances, financial goals, and market conditions.
• Consult with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) to receive personalized advice and guidance tailored to your specific financial situation and objectives.
Remember, investing is a dynamic process, and periodic review and adjustment are essential to stay on track towards achieving your financial goals. By taking a proactive approach and making informed decisions, you can optimize your investment portfolio and work towards building long-term wealth and financial security.

Relationship
Hi Anu I am a married woman with a very supportive husband and daughter. For last 10 years I am having an affair with a colleague and things are pretty well between us. Both of us have found the comfort and requisite from each other which we missed in married life and it saved our respective marriage though none of our family are aware of it. We balanced this till now effectively. Recently I got an opportunity within the company which is very lucrative and will enhance my career goals altogether however, for this I have to shift to another state. Now , my bf is very upset on this as it means he will not be able to meet me as we do every day. My husband and Daughter is fine with my shifting however my parents who are old are also apprehensive since I am the only child and do take care of them. My husband has assured to support them in absence of me and I have full confidence on him. All throughout my life I have focused on my professional career and have worked towards that and now when I got this opportunity I am emotionally unstable and unable to take the decision. My dilemma is surrounding various aspects. 1- Don’t want to leave my BF as he is my strength. 2- My parents are old and since I being the only child,they ae 3- If I could not perform in the new role then? 4- The daily hardship that I have to take over in a new place as my husband will not shift. 5- Remuneration wise not as such however if you say power then yes. Learning – knowledge enhancement and career upliftment - yes very much. 6- Current role will not grow much however stability as of now do exists. Can you help me to take the decision ?
Ans: Dear Nibedita,
What is important to you and what helps you grow professionally and personally must be looked at? Constraints are always going to play a role BUT working around it may help you make a decision. If professionally you are going to grow into the role and for this you need to work around things for the time being, then you must do just that. But in all this, do factor that you have a daughter who is still young and will need your presence a lot; physically and emotionally.
Now, how you work this with your BF is something that is between the two of you; but it's not power or money BUT how you grow in your new role.
Also, talk to your family and come to an arrangement whereby they also become your pillar of strength and support. You will then be able to come to a viable decision.

All the best!
