Hello All . Looking for some advice I am 36 yr old and working class with Sal of 32 lakhs per annum Current savings are 33 lakhs in PPF / PF and Gratuity 3 lakhs in Shares and Mutual Fund 10 lakhs in Physical Gold 20 lakhs in Cash Liabilities Home loan outstanding 30 lakhs I wish to retire with corpus of 5cr and at age of 50 What do you think should change in my current portfolio

Ans: Hello;

You may begin a monthly sip of 80 K into a combination of pure equity mutual funds and continue for 14 years.

At 50, your sip may yield you a corpus of around 3.5 Cr.

The PF corpus will grow over 14 years into a sum of around 1 Cr. No additional contributions are assumed, which may be deemed as surplus.

The gold holding if liquidated and invested in equity mutual funds as lumpsum will yield a corpus of around 0.5 Cr after 14 years.

If you do not wish to liquidate gold holdings then the monthly sip may be hiked to 90 K.

The gold holding will grow in value to around 0.25 Cr over 14 years and 90 K sip will yield corpus of 3.75 Cr+.

Considering both scenarios you achieve your target of 5 Cr in 14 years:

80 K sip-3.5 Cr in 14 years
Pf value-1.0 Cr in 14 years
Gold holdings converted to equity MF holdings: 0.5 Cr in 14 years
Grand Total -5.00 Cr

90 K sip- 3.75 Cr+ in 14 years
Pf Value- 1.00 Cr in 14 years
Gold Value- 0.25 Cr in 14 years
Grand Total -5.00 Cr+

Pure equity MF returns assumed at 12%, PF at 8% and Gold return at 7%.

Happy Investing;

Thank you for detailed analysis Does my current investment show some stable corpus ? Forgot to mention the Home that I own the current is 1.60 Cr with outstanding loan of 30 lakhs
Ans: Hello;

Your investment is quite stable since it comprises mostly of debt(PF), gold and liquid cash. (Self occupied property is reckoned as nil value investment in financial planning).

But you need exposure to equity through some way (NPS, MFs, not direct stocks) for growth.

However if you are a risk averse investor then you may do corpus building through the assets other then equity but you may have to put large sums since returns from these asset classes are relatively lesser compared to equity.

Equity asset class is volatile in the short to medium term but over long-term (7 year+) it is comparatively less volatile and yields relatively better returns.

Prepay the home loan as early as possible.

Hello Sir, I am planning to retire early with a net worth of 5 crore. Current Age: 29 yrs Investment: 1. EPF - 10 lakhs 2. PPF - 6.57 lakhs 3. NPS - 1.3 lakhs 4. M/F - 17.7 lakhs 5. Stocks - 6 lakhs 6. F/D - 1.4 lakhs 7. Bonds - 3.32 lakhs 8. ULIP - 4 lakhs. SIP: 23500/- per month ULIP: 5200/- p.m. NPS: 5000/- p.m. And based on extra cash, I invest in FD/Stocks. Is my portfolio in the current track wrt my Target path? Please suggest if I should look into more investments or increase the amount in the current category itself. Thank you.
Ans: Your early retirement goal with a net worth of 5 crore at 29 is commendable and shows your financial prudence and foresight. Let's assess your current investment portfolio.

Your allocation across various investment avenues reflects a balanced approach. EPF, PPF, and NPS provide stability and tax benefits, while MFs, stocks, and ULIPs offer growth potential. This mix aligns well with your long-term objectives.

However, there's room for optimization. Considering your age and risk appetite, you may explore increasing exposure to equities. Equities have historically outperformed other asset classes over the long term, albeit with higher volatility.

Regularly reviewing and adjusting your SIPs and ULIP contributions can capitalize on market opportunities and mitigate risks. Additionally, diversifying further within equities, perhaps through sector-specific or thematic funds, can enhance portfolio resilience.

While FDs and bonds offer safety, their returns may not outpace inflation, potentially eroding purchasing power over time. Reassess their role in your portfolio vis-a-vis your goals and risk tolerance.

Moreover, working with a Certified Financial Planner can offer personalized guidance tailored to your financial aspirations, risk tolerance, and time horizon. They can help optimize your portfolio, navigate market fluctuations, and stay on track towards your retirement goal.

In conclusion, your current investment trajectory aligns well with your retirement aspirations. However, optimizing asset allocation, particularly towards equities, and periodic review with a Certified Financial Planner can further strengthen your financial journey.

Ans: With your impressive financial portfolio and clear retirement goals, let's assess how we can optimize your investments to align with your retirement income target of 5 lakhs per month.

Reviewing Your Current Portfolio:

Real Estate:
You own two properties, one self-occupied and the other vacant. Consider renting out the second property to generate additional rental income.

Fixed Deposits and Shares:
Your significant investments in Fixed Deposits and Shares provide stability and growth potential. However, consider diversifying your portfolio further to spread risk.

Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) and Mutual Funds:
Your investments in SGBs and Mutual Funds are well-diversified. Review your fund selection periodically to ensure they align with your risk tolerance and financial goals.

Public Provident Fund (PPF) and Sukanya Samriddhi:
These instruments offer tax benefits and long-term savings. Continue contributing to them regularly, but consider exploring other investment avenues for potential higher returns.

Provident Fund (PF):
Your PF balance is substantial and provides a secure retirement corpus. Ensure you're maximizing contributions to your PF account and periodically review investment options offered by your employer.

Term Insurance:
Your term insurance coverage is adequate, providing financial security for your family in case of unfortunate events.

Cash Credit to Family Friends:
While it's noble to help family and friends, consider the risks associated with such lending arrangements. Ensure proper documentation and a clear repayment plan to safeguard your interests.

Suggestions for Portfolio Optimization:

Asset Allocation:
Review your asset allocation to ensure it aligns with your retirement goals and risk tolerance. Consider rebalancing your portfolio to achieve optimal diversification across asset classes.

Equity Investments:
Given your long investment horizon and retirement income target, consider increasing exposure to equity investments. Invest in a mix of large-cap, mid-cap, and diversified equity mutual funds to capture market growth potential.

Debt Instruments:
Explore debt instruments like corporate bonds or debt mutual funds for stable returns and income generation. This can provide a hedge against market volatility and ensure steady cash flow during retirement.

Real Estate:
Consider leveraging your existing property investments for rental income or explore real estate investment trusts (REITs) for exposure to the real estate sector without the hassles of property management.

Regular Portfolio Review:
Periodically review your portfolio's performance and make necessary adjustments based on changing market conditions and financial goals. Consult with a Certified Financial Planner to ensure your investments are on track to meet your retirement income target.

Conclusion:

With a well-diversified portfolio and prudent financial planning, you're well-positioned to achieve your retirement income goal of 5 lakhs per month. By optimizing your investments and regularly reviewing your portfolio, you can secure a comfortable retirement and financial independence.
