Ans: There are too many funds in your portfolio. However, most of the funds are decent. You may continue for three years.

 

Ans: Evaluate each mutual fund based on its performance, expense ratios, fund manager's track record, and alignment with your investment goals and risk tolerance. Consider exiting funds with consistently poor performance or high expenses. Continue holding funds that have shown consistent returns and align with your investment strategy. Review the portfolio regularly to ensure it remains diversified and in line with your financial objectives. Consult with a financial advisor for personalized guidance tailored to your specific needs and goals. Regularly monitor market conditions and fund performance to make informed decisions regarding your investments.

Conduct thorough research or seek advice from a Certified Financial Planner or Mutual Fund Distributor to identify suitable options based on your financial goals and risk tolerance.
