Hi, I am 42 yrs old working in a PSU, having monthly salary of 1 lakh, 5 yrs back i Started investing in SIPS, started with 5k per month and gradually increased to 23k per month (present SIP Portfolio is - Axis bue chip Equity Gr 2k, Nippon Large Cap Gr 2k, Canara Robeco Bllje chip Equity reg Gr 2k, HDFC BSE sensex Index 1k, ICICI Pru Bluechip Gr 4000, Nippon India Small Cap Gr 2k, Quant small Cap Gr 3k, SBI small cap 2k, Tata small cap Gr 3k Miras Asset Large Cap Reg Gr 2k. I don't have any particular return in mind but want to maximise my returns, Upto few months back my XIPR was around 24% but since last few months it has reduced a lot and at present is around 9.30%, Kindly suggest which funds to stop and which funds to add to my portfolio. I don't have any plans to withdraw in near future.

Ans: Hello;

You just need 4 funds in your portfolio:

1. Flexicap type mutual fund
2. Multicap type mutual fund
3. Balanced advantage type mutual fund
4. Multi asset allocation type mutual fund

You may allocate 25% of your investible amount to each of these fund types.

You may select any fund from the top quartile in the respective categories or consult an MFD.

If your horizon is long-term then you shouldn't worry about these notional losses or drop in returns. In-fact you should do lumpsum during such market fall to accumulate more units at lesser NAV.

24 K invested thru monthly sip may yield you a sum of 1 Cr in 15 years.

Happy Investing;

• Review Performance: Periodically review the performance of your funds to ensure they are meeting your expectations and performing in line with their peers and benchmarks.

• Consider Your Goals: Reflect on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon to determine if your current funds align with your objectives. If you have specific goals such as retirement planning or wealth accumulation, consider adjusting your portfolio accordingly.

• Evaluate Fund Managers: Assess the track record and expertise of the fund managers managing your investments. Look for consistency in performance and a clear investment strategy aligned with your goals.

• Stay Informed: Keep yourself updated with market trends, economic developments, and changes in regulations that may impact your investments. Stay connected with your financial advisor or conduct your research to make informed decisions.

• Seek Professional Advice: Consider consulting with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) or a qualified financial advisor to get personalized advice based on your financial situation and goals. They can provide valuable insights and recommendations tailored to your needs.

Overall, while your current mutual fund portfolio appears well-diversified, it's essential to periodically review and adjust your investments based on changes in your financial situation and market conditions. By staying disciplined and informed, you can work towards achieving your financial goals effectively.
