Hello sir, i am looking for wealth creation in future. I would like to earn 1 lakh per month after ten years for the next 25 years. How much should I for next 10 years to achieve this target and what mutual funds are best for this target to be realistic?

Ans: Strategic Plan for Wealth Creation

Assessment of Financial Goal

Your aspiration to earn Rs. 1 lakh per month after ten years for the next 25 years reflects a commendable vision for long-term wealth creation and financial security.

Evaluation of Investment Strategy

To achieve this target, it's essential to adopt a systematic investment approach that combines disciplined savings with prudent investment choices.

Calculation of Required Investment

To determine the amount you need to invest over the next ten years to achieve your goal, we must consider factors such as the expected rate of return, inflation, and the desired monthly income.

Analysis of Mutual Fund Selection

When selecting mutual funds for this goal, it's crucial to prioritize funds with a proven track record of consistent performance, a focus on capital appreciation, and a suitable investment style aligned with your risk tolerance.

Assessment of Risk and Return

While equity-oriented mutual funds typically offer higher potential returns over the long term, they also carry higher volatility and risk. Balancing risk and return is essential to ensure the stability and sustainability of your investment portfolio.

Recommendations for Portfolio Construction

Diversified Equity Funds: Allocate a significant portion of your investment portfolio to diversified equity funds, including large-cap, mid-cap, and multi-cap funds. These funds offer exposure to a broad range of stocks and sectors, providing growth potential while managing risk.

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP): Implement a SIP strategy to invest regularly over time, leveraging the power of compounding to maximize returns. Consistent investment discipline is key to achieving your long-term wealth creation goal.

Regular Portfolio Review: Periodically review your investment portfolio to ensure it remains aligned with your financial objectives and risk tolerance. Rebalancing may be necessary to maintain the desired asset allocation and optimize returns.

Professional Guidance: As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), I recommend consulting with a qualified financial advisor to develop a personalized investment strategy tailored to your specific needs, goals, and risk profile. A professional advisor can provide valuable insights and guidance to help you navigate the complexities of wealth creation effectively.

Conclusion

In conclusion, achieving your goal of earning Rs. 1 lakh per month after ten years for the next 25 years requires a strategic investment approach that combines disciplined savings with prudent mutual fund selections. By prioritizing diversified equity funds, implementing a systematic investment plan, and seeking professional guidance, you can enhance the likelihood of realizing your long-term wealth creation objectives.

Hello, I am 34 earning 2 lacs per month. I have been investing in Mutual funds from past 6 years and from pass 2- 2.5 years I have reached and investing 1.6 lacs per month in Mutual funds. In next 10 years I want to have an automatic income of about 3 lacs per month. Can you advise how is it possible. I am investing in Mirae emerging asset, DSP, axis long term quity, parag pariek flexi cap, HDFC mic cap, HDFC Top 100, Nippon, SBi (small cap) Please advise the mutual fund I should invest and the amount to get an income of 3 lacs per month in next 7-10 years Also, i have bought a house for 1.5 cr. Have paid about 25 lacs from my investments already. Planning to pay about 70% as down payment in the next 3-4 years and 30 % loan. Is that a wise decision. Please advise
Ans: To achieve an automatic income of 3 lakhs per month in the next 7-10 years, you'll need to focus on building a substantial corpus through your investments. Given your current investment capacity and time horizon, you may consider allocating a significant portion of your monthly investments to high-growth potential mutual funds, particularly those with exposure to mid-cap and small-cap segments.

Ensure your investment portfolio remains well-diversified across different asset classes and investment styles to manage risk effectively. Regularly review your portfolio's performance and adjust your investment strategy as needed to stay on track towards your income goal.

Regarding your decision to pay 70% down payment for your house purchase, it can be a wise move if it aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance. By making a higher down payment, you can potentially reduce your loan burden and overall interest costs. However, it's essential to ensure that you maintain an adequate emergency fund and continue investing for your long-term financial goals alongside your home purchase plans.

Consider consulting with a financial advisor to develop a comprehensive financial plan tailored to your specific needs and objectives. They can provide personalized advice and help you navigate through your investment and home purchase decisions effectively.

I'm trying my best to crack neet ...i don't know what will happen will i score good marks or not ... please help me in suggesting good career options if not crack neet .....there are many options through neet marks also like bhms , veterinary...etc. i will also give entrance exam also like cuet ,gbpuat ,....but i want that what to choose which course will be best for me ...i want to make my life good and happy... having a good degree, good job ,...
Ans: Hello.
Have you analyzed your failure in 2 successive attempts in the NEET examination? If yes, then the question is what you have done for improvement and not then again the question arises why not? Here, I would like to suggest you focus now only on the NEET examination which is your 3rd attempt. Don't think about any other options right now till May 2025. After the NEET exam is over, you have ample time to explore the options available. Depending on your score in NEET 2025, we will guide you at that time. But yet, if you are confused, then looking towards your question and anxiety, you need personal counseling where you can express yourself face-to-face. Only after the NEET exam is over, you contact a counsellor for one-to-one counseling. Till then, keep mum and focus only on NEET. Take this exam as your mission and project. Work on this project, apply forces from all sides, success is there which is waiting for you eagerly.
Best of luck for your bright future.

Some tips: (1) Analyse separately Phy, Che, Bio (2) Prepare a list of hard topics (3) First focus more on the topics which are easy for you and then try to excel in hard topics (4) Appear more and more online/offline examinations (4) Prepare your short-cut file for all subjects (5) Prepare a file for each subject having only synopsis of all chapters (6) Try to solve the problems at the lightening speed and observe the period on regular basis (7) Create your time table to revise the topics on regular basis (8) Do not hesitate to ask your difficulties to your teachers, if you have joined to offline classes (9) Keep the habit of marking the answers which you know 100%. Don't guess the answers and mark them, as there is -ve marking scheme. (10) Be calm, quite, and smiling all the time to release the tension and always have a healthy chat with your friends.
