Ans: Your portfolio appears to have a mix of flexi-cap, mid-cap, and tax-saving equity funds, providing diversification across different market segments. However, it's essential to periodically review your investments to ensure they align with your financial goals, risk tolerance, and market conditions. Here are a few considerations:

Diversification: Assess whether your portfolio is adequately diversified across different asset classes, sectors, and market capitalizations. Consider adding exposure to other sectors or asset classes if needed to reduce concentration risk.
Performance: Evaluate the performance of each fund relative to its benchmark index and peers. If any fund consistently underperforms or deviates significantly from its investment mandate, consider replacing it with a better-performing alternative.
Tax Efficiency: Since you have a tax-saving equity fund in your portfolio, ensure it aligns with your tax planning goals and provides adequate tax benefits. Evaluate its performance and tax efficiency compared to other tax-saving options.
Risk Management: Consider your risk tolerance and investment horizon when making changes to your portfolio. Ensure that the overall risk level of your investments is in line with your comfort level and financial objectives.
Professional Advice: Consult with a certified financial planner or advisor who can provide personalized recommendations based on your financial situation and goals.
Ultimately, the decision to change or maintain your portfolio depends on your individual circumstances and market outlook. Regular review and adjustment can help ensure that your investments remain aligned with your long-term financial goals.

Equity Savings fund: Mirae Asset Equity Savings fund
