Sir, I am 46, I am looking for advice, i have some where 20 funds of 60L portfolio. But i am currently looking at overlap of funds and wanted to balance it out may be bring it to 10 to 13 funds. So i am listing some of the funds from long term perspective, which is 5 to 10 years . Please let me know if those funds are good or any change required from overall portfolio. I will be spending 10 to 15% on ICICI Bluechip fund , removing hdfc 50 index + Canara rebeco Bluechip due to overlap of 54%.22.5% on Midcap - HDFC Midcap oppurtunities and Motilal oswal midcap fund and i no more be investing on SBI Maganum midcap fund and removing PGIM Midcap fund as star rating 1 and majorly star rating 4/5. I am also planinng to add Debt fund of 15% ( New investment to balance portfolio, Gsec 2036 bond, let me know if any thing which can give more than 8 %) for next 5 to 8 years. Also atleast i am expecting my portfolio to generate > 15% to 20% return. My stratergy , I see all overlap of stocks is between 9-14% . whichever has more than 30% overlap reducing it. I am looking at horizon of 5 to 10 years. I will continue doing sip of 1 lakh per month may be increasing by 5% every year for next 7 years. I am already having 60L portfolio and planning to increase 1 crore by mid of next year. Reason i am asking now is in future i dont want do major rebalance MF. i would like to sustain the model so that i get return consistantly. Please guide me on my stratergy and plan. If any changes in the portfolio. After sip stop i will start the SWP withdrwal of 4 to 5%. I am looking for generating 4 to 5 crores in next 7 to 10 years. Let me know how i can reach the goal.

Ans: You have a prudent and highly admirable approach to optimize number of funds in your portfolio eliminating excess overlap and below par performance.

ICICI Pru Bluechip, HDFC Mid-Cap opportunities and Motilal Oswal Midcap Funds are good funds in their category so no need to change.

Also your choice of nifty gsec 2036 fund(hdfc/Nippon) to balance your portfolio asset allocation looks apt.

My only slight concern is your return expectation. We should follow the principle of 'hope for the best and be prepared for the worst'.

Considering your lumpsum and sip amounts, reaching target of 4-5 Cr in 7 years even with top-up appears challenging.

However if you stick to top end of your time horizon i.e. 10 years, corpus target looks comfortably achievable even without top-up.
(Modest return of 13% assumed)

As you get closer to your target, transfer your gains to liquid or ultra short duration debt funds to protect it from volatility.

I am Binoy working in UAE as a sales executive age 39. From kochin, Kerala. May I kindly get some advice for my mutual funds portfolio? I am doing below mutual funds SIP direct growth. & I stopped some SIPs and hold the funds. Now I am doing 96k SIP. Need to start & continue total 1 lakh SIP for the next 8 to 10 years.

This SIP s are for my retirement monthly income 30 to 35k (all are current value) after 10 years, and for my 2 children’s education 35 lakhs lumpsum after 10 & 15 years respectively.

Question by Biju - Nov 14, 2022Hindi

I am 43 years old. I am investing in following funds through monthly SIPs. 1. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap - 3,000/- 2. Axis Bluechip Fund - 2,500/- 3. SBI Focused Fund - 1,500/- 4. SBI Small Cap Fund - 1,500/- 5. ICICI Technology Fund - 1,500/- Additionally I have: 1,20,000/- in Mirae Emerging Bluechip, 35,000/- in HDFC Small Cap, 90,000/- in Kotak Flexi Cap 50,000/- in ABSL Banking& Fin Serand thus, till now accumulated around 8,50,000/-. I need 30,00,000/- after 8 years. Please review my portfolio and advice if some changes are required. Also what is your advice on Axis Bluechip Fund which is not performing well.

Ans: Hello Biju Singh. Using your current sip and lump sum investment, you can achieve 30 lakh corpus in 8 years with an expected CAGR of 14%. As far as the amount is concerned, no modification is necessary.

In addition, I suggest that Axis Bluechip, HDFC Small Cap and Parag Parikh schemes be revisited with respect to their better peer schemes. I hope this resolves your concern.
