Hello sir I am investing 3000 per month as SIP in kotal small cap fund(regular growth),kotak emerging equity fund(regular growth) and Mirae asset emerging bluechip -regular Growth fund. Pls suggest should I continue with these or not. I am planning to invest for atleast next 7 years.

Ans: Considering your investment horizon of at least 7 years, your choice of mutual funds, including Kotak Small Cap, Kotak Emerging Equity, and Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip, appears suitable. These funds have the potential to generate favorable returns over the long term, given their focus on small and emerging companies. However, regularly review the performance of your investments and ensure they align with your financial goals and risk tolerance. Consult a financial advisor if needed to reassess your investment strategy and make any necessary adjustments based on changing market conditions.

I am investing monthly Sip for horizon 15-20yrs should I continue. Mirae asset tax saver fund parag parikh flex cap fund motilal oswal midcap fund Nippon india small cap fund quant small cap fund monthly10k in each shouid continue ? Can I add Sbi contra fund to my portfolio
Ans: Evaluation of Existing SIP Portfolio and Potential Addition

Current Portfolio Review:

Your current SIP investments in Mirae Asset Tax Saver Fund, Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund, Motilal Oswal Midcap Fund, Nippon India Small Cap Fund, and Quant Small Cap Fund reflect a well-diversified approach across different market segments. These funds cater to varying risk appetites and have the potential for long-term wealth creation.

Assessment of Continuing SIPs:

Mirae Asset Tax Saver Fund:

This ELSS fund offers tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act and has a track record of delivering consistent returns.
Given your investment horizon of 15-20 years, continuing SIPs in this fund can be beneficial for wealth accumulation while availing tax benefits.
Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund:

Known for its global diversification strategy and focus on quality stocks, this fund is suitable for long-term wealth creation.
The fund's flexible allocation across market caps provides stability and growth potential, making it suitable for your investment horizon.
Motilal Oswal Midcap Fund:

Midcap funds tend to be more volatile but offer higher growth potential over the long term.
Considering your extended investment horizon, continuing SIPs in this fund can help capture the growth opportunities presented by mid-cap stocks.
Nippon India Small Cap Fund and Quant Small Cap Fund:

Small-cap funds have the potential for significant growth over the long term but come with higher volatility.
Since you have a long investment horizon, maintaining SIPs in these funds can capitalize on the growth potential of small-cap stocks.
Potential Addition:

Considering adding SBI Contra Fund to your portfolio merits evaluation. Here's why:

Contrarian Approach: SBI Contra Fund follows a contrarian investment strategy, investing in stocks that are undervalued or out of favor.
Diversification: Adding this fund can further diversify your portfolio, as it focuses on stocks across market caps and sectors.
Potential Upside: The fund's contrarian approach can lead to outperformance during market cycles, complementing the growth-oriented nature of your existing SIPs.
Conclusion:

Continuing SIPs in your current portfolio funds align well with your long-term investment horizon of 15-20 years. Additionally, considering the potential benefits of SBI Contra Fund and its diversification advantages, adding it to your portfolio can enhance diversification and potentially boost returns over the long term.

Career
I am engineer with 16 years of IT experience and now a break of 11 yrs. But in 11 yrs I had been taking Quantitative aptitude lectures as a visiting faculty in various engineering and MBA colleges and also done Mutual fund certification. I haven't been siting but doing many things professionally in last 11 yrs(In my subject of interest as Maths, Teaching, Finance, Accounting, Wealth Management). I was thinking of doing ESG certification. What kind of role I would get if i am CFA ESG certified.I am looking for Professionally and intellectually engaging role where I can contribute to Society. Not a very NGO type( I have tried working with few NGO's)
Ans: I won't recommend you to go for ESG certification unless you are having a background of Env. Engg and Environmental Impact Assessment. The certificate course of ESG is costly also. I would request you to open your own academy ( if off line not possible then online) and go for only one subject. Let me know your age.Focus only on one subject. You have explored many areas and now you are perplexed. Here the questions are assigned to me through rediffmail. So second time whether your question will come to me or not is not known to anyone of us. Due to the policy I can’t share my email ID and Phone Number. But I would request you to follow me in LINKEDIN and send request so that I can accept you, then through LINKEDIN I can counsel you in the future multiple times. Through LINKEDIN I will be readily and easily accessible. I have counselled and changed thousands of lives. As long as I am there I won’t allow you to be defeated. Mind that always I am there with you like an invisible shadow to show you the right career path.
