Ans: Hello,
Assuming you are a long term investor, you can change FOF to a mid cap fund. Other categories of funds looks okay

Please note that these suggestions are based on your stated goals and the information you provided. It is always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor in person to better understand your risk tolerance, time horizon, and specific financial goals.

Question by Sujeet - Apr 18, 2024Hindi

Sir I have been investing in MF's for last 5 years. However I have not taken any expert advice or from a certified planner while selecting funds. However I want to understand if I have invested in good funds with the objective of long term wealth creation. PPFAS FLEXI CAP Direct Growth-5200 ICICI Pru Value Discovery-1500 Tata ELSS tax saver-1000 Canara Robeco ELSS tax saver-1000 Axis ELSS tax saver-1000 Quant small cap direct growth-2600 PGIM India mid cap growth-2500 HDFC children gift fund-5000 SBI Magnum children benefits fund-5000. Kindly let me know if I am right track.

Ans: It's great that you've been investing for the last 5 years with a focus on long-term wealth creation. Your portfolio appears to be diversified across flexi cap, value-oriented, tax-saving, small cap, mid cap, and children's funds, which is a positive approach.

To assess if you're on the right track:

Diversification: Your portfolio seems to be diversified across different fund categories, which can help in spreading risk.
Tax Planning: Investing in ELSS tax saver funds can provide tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, enhancing your overall tax planning strategy.
Long-Term Focus: With your investment horizon aligned with long-term wealth creation, the funds chosen generally cater to this objective.
However, it's essential to periodically review your portfolio's performance, ensure alignment with your risk tolerance, and make adjustments as needed. Consider consulting a certified financial planner for a comprehensive review tailored to your financial goals and risk profile.

Hello Sir, it has been 4 years since I got married. I have two kids. My wife loves me a lot. One day, in a casual conversation, she told me about her past life before marriage. I too had physical relations with a friend. Since then, I have been in depression. What should I do? I am unable to understand. Should I separate or leave her. Although now she keeps crying that that was the past. Now I love you very much, but I am unable to understand what to do. Please guide us. I feel that my life has been ruined. I am unable to understand ????????

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I am assuming that whatever your wife confessed happened before you met her. And assuming that I want to ask you, are you seriously mad at your partner for having a life before you even existed for her? Is that even something to be concerned about? Everyone has a past. If you did not, that's your choice. She did, that's hers. How can you judge her for something that happened before you two got married? This anger, no matter how real it feels, is quite baseless. You are ruining your peace and marriage for nothing.

And you say, "She is crying that that was her past," why does she have to cry? It was indeed in her past. It is entirely up to the person whether they want to disclose it or not. Past is supposed to be in the past. Have a clear discussion with your wife. If things don't seem to cool down, I recommend seeing a marriage counselor who can help sort this issue in a more structured way.

Best Wishes.

Dear LG, Please keep this anonymous. I have been married since 6 years. However, since past 5+ years we have not been intimate. We haave a 5&1/2 year kid. Since his birth we have had a lot of differences and his family interference was lot leaving me alone and wounded. I don't stay with my husband and in-laws since then. I had made up that work is worship. But 2 years back I met a colleague. He is 10 years younger to me and we have extremely similar vibes. We enjoy each other's company and cared a lot. Eventually i fell in love with him. But he always knew he wont be able to go against his family. We also had relationship. Now he has strated looking for girls and wants us to stop being intimate. He is saying he wants to be friends and not loose me but not have relationship. We both work together in same space and our area of work is also same. I am unable to forgive my husband and forget this person. He never goes away. He is always there telling that I want to see you happy. He needs me for professional development. And i am not able to loose our relationship. He says physical intimacy only I cant have remaining Im there. Then again says I don’t know when I will be there so I am unable to give assurance or promise. I am tormented with a child, work and my health is getting affected. Can you please help?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I am sorry that you are in such a tough spot. My advice would be to move on. Yes, I realize that it is easier said than done but let's put things into perspective- first, you have no future with this man, and he has made it clear. Are you okay to keep hanging on to him while he builds his own life? I am assuming no, especially since you have a child. Second, what about your self-respect? He is directly telling you that this relationship is headed toward a dead end. Do you believe you deserve to be with someone who does not want to settle down with you? I believe you deserve better.

I am not blaming him because he made no promises. You are not to be held guilty either because you were in a tough spot and you grabbed the first emotional support you found. But the current reality is that he wants out. And convincing him to stay is not an option. At this point, moving on with your head held high is the best decision. If you want to accept his friendship, that is completely fine. But if that's too much for you, you can always decline it. I understand that working in the same space with an ex is difficult, but as long as you avoid interacting outside of the office and keep things professional, there should not be an issue. On the emotional front, I won't lie, it will hurt for a while. But this too shall pass. I strongly recommend you not to value yourself so low that you stop believing that you deserve a person who loves you back as much as you love him.

Best Wishes.
