Question by Vicky on Oct 10, 2024Hindi

Money

I am 40 years old working professional, working in private firm getting in hand salary of Rs. 2.25 lacs/month. I am invested Rs. 50k via SIP in large/mid/small cap in 40:30:30 ratio from 2023 and one HDFC ULIP plan (premium is Rs. 1.5 lacs per year from 2018) . I had an home loan of Rs. 30 lacs o/s as on today for which I am paying around Rs 58k EMI. I had 2 sons of 8 years and 3 years and I have 2 financial goals, 1st is their higher education and 2nd is our comfortable retirement (if possible early retirement by age of 50). Pl guide, if I am on right path or need to amend the approach?

Ans: Hello;

You MF monthly sip(2023 onset)will grow into a sum of 1.47 Cr by the time you will be 50.

Add this to your estimated corpus expected from ULIP plan and you will get a better clarity for coverage on both the goals, kid's education and retirement corpus.

Leaving the ulip part aside, I feel you should double your monthly sip, or enhance it by 50% atleast, if you are planning for early retirement.

After 5-6 years reduce allocation to mid and small caps and increase allocation to large caps, debt and gold for balance and stability.

Happy Investing!!

My daughter secured 83.7382330 with a rank of 2,40,000 which is not great. I do not expect any college in counselling based on past cut offs.

We are based in Pune but does not hold any state domicile and are from general category and open for states around Maharashtra and down south as well. She is appearing for other exams as well like MET, VIT, SRM, BITSAT, COMEDK, AEEE but not sure how she will fare in them.
