I am 50+ years old. I am having the following mutual funds since Aug’2018. Total amount invested Rs 10 lakh. Last year December Wtd. Avg annualised return was 15% (Avg age days is 1356 days), now it has come down to around 9%. What is your advice – any change in the portfolio required? Or Should I keep for longer time?

ABSL Equity Hybrid’95 Fund – 3 lakh – current value 3.78 lakh (appreciation 29.18%)
HDFC Balance Advantage Fund- 2.5 lakh – current value 3.55 lakh
ICICI Prudebtial Blue chip Fund – 2 lakh – current value 2.78 lakh
Nippon India Multicap Fund – 50 thousand – current value 68 thousand
TATA Multicap Fund – 2 lakh - current value 2.83 lakh.
Also, please suggest any good SIP for investment.

Ans: Kindly continue; markets are in corrective mode therefore the returns presently may not look good, however the funds are decent.

For SIPs you may consider a couple of schemes from:

  1. UTI flexi cap fund – Growth.     
  2. Parag Parikh Flexi cap - Growth 
  3. Samco Flexi Cap – Growth
  4. Axis Esg Equity Fund  Growth
  5. Hdfc Index Fund - Sensex Plan - Growth
