Hello, please advise. I want to create of corpus of 5 crores in 5 years, the value of my current portfolio is 50 lakhs. I am 44 years. My monthly SIP is around 2.25 lakhs. Rs. 1.25 lakhs in Franklin India US opps fund, Smaller companies, Tech fund, Axis Bluechip and small cap, Mirae Asset Blue chip, Canara Robeco Equity hybrid, Motilal Nasdaq 100 FOF, Parag Parikh long term equity. Started another Rs. 1 lakh last month in ICICI Prudential Mutual bank, DSP, Franklin India smaller companies, Kotak Emerging Equity, HDFC Flexi, HDFC Smaller Cap, Tata Digital India Fund. Please advise.

Ans: It's commendable that you're focused on building a significant corpus in a relatively short period. However, aiming for a corpus of 5 crores in just 5 years is an ambitious goal and may require a carefully crafted strategy and potentially higher investments.

Here are some considerations:

Investment Amount: Given your current portfolio value of 50 lakhs and monthly SIP of 2.25 lakhs, you may need to increase your investment amount to achieve your target. Consider whether it's feasible to increase your SIP amount or allocate additional lump sum investments.
Risk and Return: With a relatively short investment horizon, it's crucial to strike a balance between risk and return. Evaluate the risk profile of your investments and ensure they align with your risk tolerance and goals.
Diversification: Review the diversification of your portfolio across different asset classes, sectors, and market capitalizations. Consider diversifying further if needed to reduce concentration risk.
Regular Review: Given the short time frame, regularly monitor the performance of your investments and adjust your strategy as needed. Be prepared to make tactical changes based on market conditions and evolving financial goals.
Professional Advice: Consider consulting with a certified financial planner or advisor who can provide personalized guidance based on your financial situation, goals, and risk profile.
Remember, achieving such a substantial corpus in a short period requires disciplined savings, prudent investing, and realistic expectations. While it's essential to aim high, it's also crucial to maintain a realistic perspective and adapt your strategy as needed along the way.

Ans: Creating a corpus of 5 crores in 10 years is an ambitious goal, but with careful planning and strategic investments, it's achievable. Your current investment portfolio and savings habits provide a solid foundation for reaching this milestone.

Given your age of 34 and the 10-year time horizon, we'll need to focus on a growth-oriented investment strategy while ensuring diversification and risk management.

Let's start by optimizing your mutual fund portfolio. While you have a diversified mix of funds, we may need to make some adjustments to align with your goal. Consider increasing allocations to high-growth potential funds like mid-cap and small-cap funds, which historically have outperformed broader market indices.

Regularly review your portfolio to monitor performance and make necessary adjustments based on market conditions and your evolving financial goals.

Additionally, continue your disciplined approach towards savings. Your LIC, PPF, and NPS contributions provide stability and long-term growth opportunities. Ensure you maximize contributions to these instruments within permissible limits to harness their full potential for wealth accumulation.

Remember to stay patient and committed to your financial plan. Building a significant corpus requires time and consistency. As a Certified Financial Planner, I'm here to guide you every step of the way and help you navigate through market fluctuations and uncertainties.

With determination and strategic financial planning, you can achieve your goal of creating a 5 crore corpus in 10 years.

Career
Hi. I am a BITS pilani graduate (2017) but i haven't achieved massive success when compared to my peers. I am preparing of UPSC for past 3 years along with my job, hoping to crack UPSC in 2025 or 2026. I am ashamed to meet my juniors and seniors of my college. Do you think by cracking upsc my fortunes will change and have a reputation among the alumni?
Ans: Hello
The real success is being at peace with oneself. This may sound bit philosophical but it is a profound stuff.
Unfortunately our societal orientation has so strongly imbibed the outside-in approach for most aspects of our life while it should be exactly opposite i.e. inside-out. To simplify, real success is not about meeting benchmarks set by someone else rather striving for leading a wholesome life as per own yardsticks wherein material/career elements are only one part of it. It is not to demean/undervalue something but assigning equal/appropriate weightage to all aspects of what makes us alive - health, family, relationships, sharing/caring etc. hence there is absolute no reason for you to feel ashamed merely basis some perceived/incomplete notions. Yes we should continue to strive for enhancements in life in all areas but do it for personal satisfaction and not for others hence there is no reason to feel stressed rather our goals if set right should energize us & give us a larger purpose in life.
Therefore look at things from a larger prism & not merely to gain some 'random perceived gains' that will again be shor-tlived.
All the Best!!
