Ans: It's great to see your diversified portfolio. While your current investments seem well-distributed across various sectors and fund types, it's always a good idea to periodically review and reassess your holdings.

For one-time investments, consider evaluating the performance and future prospects of each fund. Are they aligned with your investment goals and risk tolerance? You might want to assess if any fund's objectives no longer match your investment strategy.

Regarding SIPs, you have a mix of large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, and sectoral funds, which is commendable for diversification. However, keep an eye on the performance of each SIP and consider rebalancing if necessary.

As for new investments, consider funds that complement your existing portfolio while providing exposure to sectors with growth potential. Research and consult with a financial advisor to identify funds with strong track records and promising outlooks.

Remember, regular review and adjustment are key to maintaining a healthy and optimized investment portfolio.

Ans: Your current mutual fund portfolio reflects a thoughtful mix of investments. Here's a detailed evaluation to help you decide whether to continue with them or make adjustments.

One-Time Investments

This fund aims to discover undervalued stocks. It has a good track record but requires patience. If you can handle short-term volatility, it’s a good hold for long-term gains.

ICICI Transportation & Logistics Fund - Growth

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) Monthly
Axis Flexi Cap Fund - Regular Plan

A flexi cap fund offers diversification across various market caps. This fund is known for its stable performance. Continue your SIP in this fund for balanced exposure.

Canara Robeco Emerging Equities - Regular Plan

This fund focuses on emerging companies with growth potential. It’s a good choice for aggressive investors. If your risk appetite supports it, continue this investment.

Aditya Birla SL Focused Equity Fund(G)

Focused funds invest in a limited number of stocks, offering high growth potential but also higher risk. If you can withstand market fluctuations, this fund can be a valuable part of your portfolio.

HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities Fund(G)

Mid-cap funds invest in medium-sized companies with high growth potential. This fund is well-regarded for its consistent performance. Continue your SIP for long-term wealth creation.

ICICI Pru Bluechip Fund(G)

Bluechip funds invest in large, well-established companies. They offer stability and moderate returns. This fund is a good choice for conservative investors seeking steady growth. Continue your investment.

Axis Small Cap Fund - Regular Plan

Small cap funds invest in smaller companies with high growth potential but also higher risk. If you have a high risk tolerance and a long-term horizon, continue this SIP.

ICICI Prudential Technology Fund - Growth

Technology funds can be volatile but offer high growth potential. If you believe in the long-term growth of the tech sector, continue this investment.

HSBC Midcap Fund

Midcap funds are suitable for investors looking for higher returns and willing to accept moderate risk. This fund has a good track record. Continue your SIP for potential high returns.

ICICI Pru Multi-Asset Fund - Growth

This fund invests across various asset classes, providing diversification and reducing risk. It’s a balanced choice for moderate-risk investors. Continue your investment for diversified growth.

ICICI Pru Value Discovery Fund - Growth

As mentioned earlier, this fund focuses on undervalued stocks. If you have patience and a long-term horizon, it remains a good choice.

Recommendations for New Investments
Based on the current market trends and performance, consider these high-performing funds for new investments:

Large Cap Fund

Investing in large-cap funds provides stability and consistent returns. These funds are less volatile and are a good option for conservative investors.

Mid Cap Fund

Mid-cap funds offer a balance between risk and return. They are suitable for investors looking for higher growth without the high volatility of small caps.

Balanced Advantage Fund

These funds dynamically allocate assets between equity and debt, based on market conditions. They offer stability and moderate growth, suitable for conservative to moderate investors.

International Equity Fund

Investing in international equity funds can provide geographical diversification and hedge against domestic market volatility.

Conclusion
Your current portfolio is well-diversified and has a mix of sectors and market caps. Most of your investments are performing well and align with long-term growth strategies. By adding a few new high-performing funds, you can enhance your portfolio’s performance and diversification.

Can you please suggest on capital gains as per Indian taxation laws arising in the below two queries : 1) property purchased with joint ownership, me and my wife’s name in 2015 at a cost of 64,80,000, housing improvements done for the cost of 1000000 and brokerages of 200000 paid and sold the same property at 10000000 in Dec 2023? 2) 87% of the proceeds got from the deal i.e 8700000, have been reinvested to pay 25% amount in purchasing another joint ownership property in Dec 2023, 3) I have invested in another under construction property in Nov 2023 by taking housing loan, which is on me and my wife’s name worth 1.4 cr, here the primary applicant is me only while wife is just made a Co applicant in the builder buyer agreement and also on the housing loan . So what are the LTCG tax liabilities arising from the above 3 scenarios for FY 2023-2024 and FY 2024-2025. I intend to sale off the property acquired in (2) by Dec 2024 and use that proceeds to close the housing loan for the property acquired in (3), will this sale of property be inviting any tax liabilities if the complete proceeds received from the sale of the property in (2) would be utilised to close the housing loan taken in Nov 2023 for the property in (3) ? Since in FY 23-24, I would be claiming the LTCG from the sale proceeds of 1) invested in the purchase of property in 2), and I intend to sale off this property in Dec 2024, will the LTCG claim be forfeited on the property sale in (1), should I hold this property at least for further 1 year so that sale of this property in 2) will not invite STCG?
Ans: (A). Let's first talk about F/Y 2023-24 :
You jointly sold a Property during the year for Rs.76.80 lakhs (64.80+10.00+2.00), & sold the same for Rs.100.00 lakhs.
You have jointly also purchased Property No.3 (I suppose it is Residential only), for Rs.140.00 lakhs.
You should avail exemption u/s-54 & file your ITR accordingly. Please disclose all details about sale & purchase in your ITR.
02. Now coming to the F/Y 2024-25 :
You intend to Sell Property No.2, which was acquired in 2023-24. Any Gain on Sale of it would be Short Term capital Gains & taxed accordingly.
Alternatively, you may hold this sale of property no.2 (for 2 years from its purchase) & avoid STCG
You are free to utilize the sale proceeds in a way you like, including paying off your housing Loan.
Please note to avail exemption u/s 54 only from investment in property no.3 & not 2.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
