Sir I have been investing in MF's for last 5 years. However I have not taken any expert advice or from a certified planner while selecting funds. However I want to understand if I have invested in good funds with the objective of long term wealth creation. PPFAS FLEXI CAP Direct Growth-5200 ICICI Pru Value Discovery-1500 Tata ELSS tax saver-1000 Canara Robeco ELSS tax saver-1000 Axis ELSS tax saver-1000 Quant small cap direct growth-2600 PGIM India mid cap growth-2500 HDFC children gift fund-5000 SBI Magnum children benefits fund-5000. Kindly let me know if I am right track.
Ans: It's great that you've been investing for the last 5 years with a focus on long-term wealth creation. Your portfolio appears to be diversified across flexi cap, value-oriented, tax-saving, small cap, mid cap, and children's funds, which is a positive approach.

To assess if you're on the right track:

Diversification: Your portfolio seems to be diversified across different fund categories, which can help in spreading risk.
Tax Planning: Investing in ELSS tax saver funds can provide tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, enhancing your overall tax planning strategy.
Long-Term Focus: With your investment horizon aligned with long-term wealth creation, the funds chosen generally cater to this objective.
However, it's essential to periodically review your portfolio's performance, ensure alignment with your risk tolerance, and make adjustments as needed. Consider consulting a certified financial planner for a comprehensive review tailored to your financial goals and risk profile.

I took 2 drops for neet but could not clear it .... I took admission in local college after 12th for bsc as my parents said your year won't be wasted ... Now I feel devasted .. very detached ..not knowing what to do next ... My parents are telling me to give one try and go to Kota for prep but I don't know what I want ..I fear everything and sometimes I want to peruse mbbs sometimes I don't .. I am currently thinking of doing SSC CGL as I took pcmb in 12th and secured 92% .. ..what should I aim?
Ans: HI
Simply taking a drop year for NEET will not provide a solution without proper preparation. Many young people are choosing courses, colleges, or coaching centers based on their friends' influences. After your first attempt, you may have analyzed NEET better the second time. If you are still facing the same issues on your third attempt, it suggests there's a deeper problem. It seems you're preparing for NEET without genuine interest.

To succeed in competitive exams, specific strategies are required. For instance, if you analyze previous exam patterns, you’ll often find that most answers tend to be either B or C. You'll notice that among four options, two answers are relevant while the other two are completely irrelevant. It’s crucial to analyze the syllabus and past question papers thoroughly. Everyone seeks answers, but few consider the reasoning behind them.

Additionally, I noticed you’ve enrolled in a B.Sc. degree; I'm unsure which major you have chosen. If you selected either chemistry or physics, it would be beneficial. By choosing chemistry as your major, you could take physics as an ancillary subject, and vice versa. You can cover both subjects during your college education, and if you have any doubts, you can clarify them with your professors. Completing biology studies at home is also advisable.

Whenever you plan to take competitive exams, dedicate your time solely to that without engaging in college activities. Avoid distractions at all costs. Recently, many parents have been facing these types of challenges with their children, and it takes time to adapt.

Finally, please listen to your parents' advice and minimize distractions. I have shared a few tips; please follow them.
BEST WISHES.
