Hello Sir, I want to invest 25k monthly in SIP with retirement and child education as investment goal . I am also planning to step up the SIP amount every year after I get the increment. Could you please tell me in which MF fund should I invest and how much should I increase the SIP amount very year. Target corpus ( investment horizon - 15 years) Retirement (least amount ) - 4-5 Cr Child Education - 4-5 Cr My wife is also working and can invest 15k more in addition to above amount.
Ans: Given your investment goals and time horizon, here's a suggested investment plan:

Retirement Corpus:

Allocate a significant portion of your SIP amount to large-cap, multi-cap, and diversified equity funds.
Large-cap funds offer stability, while multi-cap and diversified equity funds provide growth potential.
Gradually increase SIP amounts annually to keep pace with inflation and salary increments.
Child Education Corpus:

Diversify your SIPs across large-cap, multi-cap, balanced, and thematic funds.
Large-cap funds offer stability, while multi-cap and balanced funds provide growth potential with lower volatility.
Thematic funds can be considered for specific sectors or themes with growth potential, but exercise caution due to higher risk.
Combined SIP Allocation:

Allocate SIP investments based on your risk tolerance, investment horizon, and financial goals.
Balance the allocation between retirement and child education based on priority and time horizon.
Gradually increase SIP amounts annually to align with your financial goals and growing expenses.
Review and Monitoring:

Regularly review the performance of your SIP investments and adjust asset allocation if necessary.
Seek advice from a financial advisor to periodically assess your progress and make any required adjustments to stay on track with your goals.
By following a diversified investment approach and gradually increasing your SIP amounts over time, you can work towards building a substantial corpus for both your retirement and your child's education.

What happens when a Mutual Fund company shuts down / gets sold off?
Ans: Hello;

If a mutual fund company gets sold or fails, the process is prescribed by SEBI:

In case MF company is Sold,
The new fund house may:
1. Continue the scheme with a new name and management.

2. Merge the scheme with similar funds and offer investors the option to exit without any exit load.

In case MF company shuts down,
The fund house will:
1. Pay out investors based on the fund's last recorded Net Asset Value (NAV) and the number of units the investor holds, after deducting expenses.

2. If the company is not in a position to do so then SEBI may liquidate the funds assets and distribute the proceeds to unit holders.

It is also pertinent to note that mutual fund regulation in India is one of the most stringent and hence best, from investor's point of view, globally.

This is not just in theory. We have seen how the Franklin Templeton abrupt closure of debt funds was handled with surgical precision, by SEBI, with no loss to unitholders.


Skin in the game regulation mandates that 20% salary of key mutual fund personnel and fund managers is paid in terms of units of their funds with a 3 year lock-in.

The stocks and bonds purchased by the AMC for the fund are held by a custodian, appointed by the trust that administers the fund.

The trust engages into a investment management agreement with the AMC for managing the fund as per their mandate and within regulatory guidelines.

Registrar and Transfer Agents handle the investor registration,kyc, maintaining records, providing account and tax statements etc.

Happy Investing;
