Hi, I'm 36 years old. I live in hyderabad with wife and 2 kids . For their education and post retirement life ( planning to retire at the age of 55) , I stared investing in mutual funds from last 2 years . Current investment is 6.2L in below funds- 1.Axis small cap 2.parag parikh flexi cap. 3.Quant Absolute growth fund 10k in each per month for now. Planning to increase 10% each year. Am I going in right direction for my financial needs? Please suggest improvements based on my needs.
Ans: That's a great start to your investment journey! Starting to invest for your children's education and your retirement at 36 shows responsibility. Let's discuss your plan and suggest some improvements:

1. Investing for Goals!

Smart Thinking! Planning for your children's education and your retirement through SIPs in Mutual Funds is a smart approach. Actively managed funds like these have fund managers who try to outperform the market by picking stocks they believe will grow.

Long-Term Goals: Your investment horizon for both your children's education (assuming they are young) and your retirement (19 years) is good for long-term wealth creation.

2. Analyzing Your Portfolio:

Small Cap Focus: Having a majority of your investment in a Small Cap Fund might be a bit risky. Small Caps can be more volatile than other market capitalizations.

Diversification Matters: Consider adding a Large Cap or Mid Cap Fund for better diversification across different market segments.

3. Planning for Education Costs:

Cost of Education: Education costs can rise significantly. Review the potential cost of education closer to the time and adjust your investments if needed.

Early Start is Key! Starting early allows for compounding to work its magic. You're on the right track!

4. Planning for Retirement:

Consider Debt Funds: As you approach retirement, consider adding Debt Funds to your portfolio to provide stability and regular income.

Review and Rebalance: A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) can review your portfolio periodically and suggest adjustments to keep you on track for your retirement goals.

Here's the key takeaway: You've made a great start! Consider diversifying your portfolio, reviewing education costs closer to the time, and adding Debt Funds for retirement. Consulting a CFP can help you fine-tune your plan and achieve your financial goals.
