Hello Sir, I want to invest 30k per month in MF was planning to do it in Flexi , Mid , Small with 10k each for next 10-15 years. Can you please tell me if this is the right approach or should i divide the 10k amount as well ,i.e. 5k each of 2 flexi cap , 5k each of 2 mid cap , 5k each of small cap. Or should I invest in other type of MF as well ?Also can you also please suggest the MF.

Ans: Hello & thanks for writing to me. As your goal is long term, equity funds will be a suitable option.

You can consider investing in a mix of Flexi Cap, Mid Cap & Small Cap funds 2 schemes in each category thru SIP's.

Stepping up your SIP every year will help you create a larger corpus.

Hi Milind,I am 37 years and in a position to invest 1.4L per month in MF and have the below allocation. Can you please advise if the below looks fine? I am just starting to invest in MF for the 1st time and looking to accumlate 5 Cr in 10 years and use this to pay off home loans and personal loans in 3 years time with corpus of 1 Cr.What would be required to reach 1 Cr in 3 years? Please review the below MF and do recommend any changes as I will be able to invest heavily in those. 1.Small Cap - Quant (30K) 2.Mid Cal - Motilal Oswal (20K) 3.Large Cap - ICICI Prud Bluechip (20K) 4.Flexi Cap - PPFAS (30K) 5.Contra - SBI (20K) 6.Multi Cap - Nippon (20K)
Ans: Hello;

For getting 1 Cr in 3 years you may to increase monthly SIP amount to 2.4 L.

Else with the current monthly SIP of 1.4 L you may need 5 years to reach target of 1 Cr to pay off your loans.

Also for 5 Cr corpus target in 10 years you have two options top-up monthly sip of 1.4 L by 11% minimum each year upto 10 years.(After finishing 1 Cr target in 3/5 years)
Or
Do a flat monthly SIP of 2 L for 10 years.

Coming to your fund portfolio, I recommend the following:

1. PPFAS flexicap fund: 30 K
2. ICICI Pru Bluechip fund: 30 K
3. Motilal Oswal Midcap fund: 20 K
4. Nippon India Small cap fund: 20 K
5. ICICI Pru Value Discovery fund: 20 K
6. SBI Technology Opportunities Fund: 20 K

Happy Investing!!

Hi Mam, Hope you are doing well. I am very worried about my son who is now 12.5 years old and studying in 7th standard in a very reputed school. Since childhood, he has no interest in studies, unless we doesn't seat in front of him, he doesn't study. Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class and the result is he doesn't get good marks in the exam. When we scold him for studies, he does it for that particular time only and then get back to his non-interest mode again and start to run from studies. He will play video games, goes to play around with his friends, he will find some or the other reason for not doing studies or homework. The irony is that he is not interested in any sports or any other kind of activities. In every summer holidays, we make him to join some sports or music classes, but there also he doesn't show interest and do things just for the sake of showing. From last year, we have started sending him to tuitions also, but no change in attitude. This year we have found a teacher of his reputed school who is retired and taking tuitions, we are sending him to her and she is charging a big amount for tuitions. please guide how can we change his attitude and make him more serious in any activity he does as he doesn't have interest in anything (we have observed doing everything we can).
Ans: Hello Sunil!!

I am doing great, thank you for asking, God bless you!

I can totally understand when you say you are worried.

Your son is 12.5, he will soon be a teenager. There will be different challenges, I want you to read up on parenting a teenager and be ready to handle him well.

The problem as I see it is that everyone of you, his teachers included have made studies like a burden for him.... and subjected the young child to a lot of anxiety, he just wants to run away form it....
"Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class".... this statement of yours... it is the teacher's duty to ensure the child listens to him/her, how can she start labeling a child like this. From a young age your son has been conditioned to believe that he is not not good in studies, he doesn't focus and he doesn't sit in one place. All my sympathies are with your son...every child comes with immense potential and it's our duty as parents and teachers to nurture the child.

The following is what I propose so that we bring him back to loving to learn ( not score marks, that should never be the barometer)-
1. Love your child the way he is now
2. Give him lot of positive strokes
3. Have one on one sessions for any activity you plan for him... let him choose the activity, empower him
4. choose a teacher, who can get along with him and help him develop a positive attitude towards studies and life in general
5. look for a school where they nurture him... not just a reputed one...less number of students and a teacher who is invested in her/ his students,

If you can connect with me, I can help him. Have had many a students in this kind situation.
