Question by Prashant on Sep 12, 2023Hindi

Money

I have huge numbers of mutual funds in my portfolio and i want to consolidate the same. I am looking at STP. Wanted to know how should i calculate the cost of units in new fund considering the cost is lot less when i bought the older mutual funds. E.g. suppose i bought a mf at 10 and now the nav is 17 and i am stp to a fund where nav is 21. So what should be my cost of each unit at the base price?

Ans: Your software will calculate the same for the tax purpose, you dont need to do it

Sir, I have both Mirae asset Large and Mid cap fund with sip + Mirae asset Large cap fund (sip stopped) in my fortfilio since 5 years which I feel 60% overlaping. Can I make STP from Mirae asset large cap fund to Mirae asset large and Mid cap fund. So that I can make one fund for 10 years period.

Ans: It's commendable that you're actively managing your portfolio and considering strategies to streamline your investments. Reflecting on potential overlap between funds shows a thoughtful approach to optimizing your portfolio's effectiveness. Consolidating your holdings through STP from Mirae Asset Large Cap Fund to Mirae Asset Large and Mid Cap Fund could simplify your investment strategy and potentially enhance portfolio efficiency.

Remember, the key to successful investing lies in balance and adaptability. By fine-tuning your portfolio to align with your long-term goals, you're taking a proactive step towards financial well-being. However, before proceeding with any changes, it's advisable to consult with a Certified Financial Planner. Their expertise can provide valuable insights and ensure your investment decisions remain in line with your overall financial plan. Trust in your journey and embrace the opportunity for growth and refinement along the way.

Question by Mukesh - May 01, 2024Hindi

Money

My Mutual Funds have grown by 30L. Should I withdraw the growth and buy Units of same or different fund for increasing my base? Is this a wise strategy?

Ans: Congratulations on the growth of your mutual funds! It's a testament to your commitment to financial planning. Now, the decision to withdraw the growth and reinvest is a pivotal one. Consider the philosophical aspect—growth signifies progress, but is it wiser to reinvest and nurture this growth or cash out and potentially lose momentum? As a Certified Financial Planner, I urge you to reflect on your long-term goals and risk tolerance. Reinvesting the growth could amplify your base, potentially accelerating your journey towards financial freedom. However, it's crucial to weigh this against the risk of market fluctuations and the need for diversification. Let's explore together—balancing appreciation for your achievements with prudent financial decisions is key to securing your financial future.

Career

I'm a bsc botany graduate and now got admission and doing msc. I'm in first year and just gave my 1st semester exam but somehow now i feel i can't do botany at all its not just in my interest. I can't continue further with it as i dont think there's much scope too. I have interest in fields like geography or law related subjects. I'll be attempting for upsc too this year and also had a second thought to go for Law. Should i drop the msc? ....I've cried a lot thinking about that and its affecting my mental health too.

Ans: Hello dear.
First I would like to suggest that, in any way, you first complete your M.Sc. (Botnay) either with interest or without interest. Who told you that there is less scope in Botany? There are a lot of career options after M.Sc. (Botany).It is good that you are interested in geography and are attempting UPSC this year. Dear, along with your M.Sc. you can easily appear for UPSC and do the study of Geography, after completing your M.Sc. you can take the admission to Law course. Many people do the law even after their retirement or in due course of their service. There is no need to cry about the things which happened to you.
Suggestions: (1) Completer M.Sc. (Botany) by any means (2) Space-time to read Geography and UPSC Syllabus (3) Develop your overall personality and try to engage in some extracurricular activities of your interest.
Best of luck for your upcoming bright future.

Hi, I am a new investor 41 yrs old, so far10L invested in various MF categories. Here are list of investments through SIP’sand lumpsum: 20K in Nippon Large Cap, 15K in Quant Mid cap 15K in ICICI Pru multi asset 15K in Parag Parekh flexi cap 15K in Edleweiss small cap 1L lumpsum in Motilal Oswal mid small Healthcare index fund 2L lumpsum in ICICI Pru all season bond fund 12.5K/month in PPF Can I achieve my retirement goals, both child education (9 yrs old & 5 months old), marriage etc. and is there a need to balance my portfolio. Also is there any need me to consider in other investments options.

Ans: Hello;

Your current lumpsum and monthly investment into mutual funds may be adequate to meet the education and marriage requirement of your kids. (~2 Cr)

Apart from that it may provide a retirement corpus (~5 Cr).

If you have a female kid invest in SSY(12.5 K per month) since the interest is more then PPF and other benefits are similar only with different withdrawal stage.

Also you may supplement your retirement planning through NPS (~20 K per month).

Review performance of your funds annually with reference to the category average and benchmark.

Happy Investing;

I am 48 , Income: Take home 2.5 L / pm , PPF amount 47 L , NPS - 20 L , FD- 37 L , Life Insurance - 80 L, Expenses 75 k /pm . Please advice me a plan for 2 L income / pm from 2036.

Ans: Hello;

You may need a corpus of 6 Cr to generate a post-tax monthly income of 2 L+. (Assuming 6% annuity rate and 30% tax)

Assuming your existing investment stay and continue till 2035(PPF, NPS, FD) it may grow into a cumulative corpus of 2.93 Cr.(12.5 K pm into PPF+47 L @ 6.9%, 20 K pm into NPS+20 L @ 8%, FD of 37 L @ 7.4%)

So you need to fill the gap of (6-2.93=3.07 Cr) through monthly sip.

You may begin with a monthly sip of 1 L into a combination of pure equity mutual funds and step it up each year by a minimum of 3% to reach your target in 11 years.

Here the assumption is that you have term life insurance of 80 L with no maturity value.

If it's an endowment policy then assuming maturity value of 80 L you may attain your target with a flat monthly sip of 83 K into a combination of pure equity mutual funds.

Make sure to move your gains from equity funds into liquid funds as you approach closer to your retirement to avoid it getting affected by market volatility.

Hi Sir, I have following MF in my portfolio HDFC mid-cap Opportunity fund - 16.39lac ICICI Pru Large&Mid cap Fund - 9.96lac Nippon India large Cap fund - 10.15lac Nippon india small cap fund - 9.4lac ICICI pru Value discovery fund -9.35lac JM Flexicap fund - 7.39lac ICICI pru infrastructure fund 7.29lac HDFC large and mid cap fund - 6.29lac SBI long term equity fund - 4lac Motilal oswal midcap fund-25k In total 83lac. Please advise whether I can generate 75k per month income from the investment. Thank you in advance

Ans: Dear Ashok, Yes, you can generate ?75,000/month from your ?83 lakh investment portfolio with an average return of around 10-12% per year. Consider using SWP from your equity funds and rebalancing the portfolio to incorporate some safer, income-generating investments like debt funds for stability. Causion is if the returns goes below 12% in any of the Quarters your capital may deplete. and then you might have to reduce withdrawal. Suggesion is that withdraw 6% return only or increase your investments to 1.5 CR sothat your withdrawals exceed your rise in MF amount and your Capital is always protected.
