Flexi Cap Funds: Axis Flexi Cap Fund

Suggested Changes
Reducing Redundancies
Your portfolio has multiple funds in similar categories, which might lead to overlapping. Reducing the number of funds can streamline your portfolio and enhance returns. Here are some suggestions:

Consolidate Large Cap Funds: You have three large cap funds (HDFC Top 100, DSP Top 100, Axis Bluechip). Choose the best performer and consolidate the investment.

Consolidate ELSS Funds: You have three ELSS funds (SBI Long Term Equity, DSP Tax Saver, L&T Tax Advantage). Pick one or two with the best performance and consistency.

Review Hybrid Fund: Hybrid funds provide balanced exposure. Evaluate if the SBI Equity Hybrid Fund aligns with your risk profile and goals. If not, consider redirecting this investment to better-performing equity funds.

Strategic Allocation
Balanced Allocation
Equity Funds: Focus on a mix of large cap, mid cap, and small cap funds for growth potential. A well-diversified portfolio can mitigate risks while maximizing returns.

Tax Saving: Continue with one or two ELSS funds for tax saving under Section 80C.

International Exposure: Retain a portion in international funds like DSP US Flexible Equity to diversify geographical risks.

Sample Rebalanced Portfolio
Large Cap: Choose one or two from HDFC Top 100 Fund, DSP Top 100 Equity Fund, Axis Bluechip Fund (Rs. 6000)

Mid Cap: Continue with Motilal Oswal Midcap 30 (Rs. 1000)

Small Cap: Continue with SBI Small Cap Fund (Rs. 2000)

Flexi Cap: Continue with Axis Flexi Cap Fund (Rs. 2000)

Tax Saving (ELSS): Select one or two from SBI Long Term Equity Fund, DSP Tax Saver Fund, L&T Tax Advantage Fund (Rs. 4000)

International Fund: Continue with DSP US Flexible Equity Fund (Rs. 1000)

Planning for Rs. 1 Crore Corpus
Regular Review
Monitor your portfolio regularly. Track the performance of your funds at least once a year and make adjustments as needed. Consistent review ensures alignment with your goals and market changes.

Increase SIP Amount Gradually
To achieve a corpus of Rs. 1 crore in ten years, consider gradually increasing your SIP amount. As your income grows, scaling up your investments can significantly impact your corpus.

Role of a Certified Financial Planner
A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) can provide personalized advice. They can help create a customized roadmap, considering your risk profile, goals, and market conditions. Consulting a CFP ensures your investments align with your financial objectives and market dynamics.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP)
For future planning, consider a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) during retirement. SWP allows you to withdraw a fixed amount regularly from your mutual fund investments. This provides a steady income while keeping the principal invested, ensuring continued growth.

Conclusion
Your disciplined investment approach is commendable. By streamlining your portfolio, focusing on well-performing funds, and regularly reviewing your investments, you can achieve your goal of a Rs. 1 crore corpus. Consult a Certified Financial Planner to tailor your strategy further.
