Ans: Hello Narendra. The detailed overview of your MF portfolio indicates over-diversification with 20k SIP. Hence, I would suggest reconsidering, concising, and reshuffling your portfolio. As part of the portfolio reshuffle, make sure to have AMC diversification as well. Limit yourself to 1-2 schemes in each category. I can see several schemes in different categories for each AMC. I recommend reconsidering the scheme for Navi US scheme to better scheme in same category.

Ans: Overall, you have over-diversified your investments. It is always better to invest in one or maximum two funds of the same category.

Although, all funds chosen by you have good fundamentals, but they carry a high level of risk with them. Without the risk profile and investment time horizon, it is difficult to comment on how long to stay invested in these funds. We should not only focus on funds’ performance but also our risk appetite and investment time horizon.

Special recommendation on sectoral/thematic funds are as follows:

Tata Digital India Fund Direct Growth: It invests primarily in companies related to digital technology and innovation in India. The fund has delivered average annual returns of 20.65% since inception. You may need to review it every six months or in case of any material change in the fund or industry. As of now, the fundamentals seem good, but sectoral funds come with very high risk.

ICICI Prudential Commodities Fund: It invests in equity-related securities of companies engaged in commodities and commodities-related sectors. The fund has delivered a higher return as compared with the category average, and should be reviewed every six months or in case of any material change in the industry.

Hi Nitin, I am 40, no saving, no investments. Was out of job in '22 restarted contractual work in '24. During this period of 2 years. I borrowed money from people (friends/ family) & credit card. Missed multiple EMI's. Cibil score has gone for a toss. Out of monthly income of 40,000 i have monthly due of 30,000 to clear each month. Please guide how i can turn around the situation.

Ans: Hello;

Only way you can turnaround the situation is by diligently repaying overdue loans.

Once loans are over start a monthly sip of 20 K. This can grow into a corpus of around 50 L in 10 years and around 1 Cr in 15 years. (12% return from equity funds assumed).

Question by Kaushik - Nov 11, 2024Hindi

Money

Hello, I am 49 years old and seeking an early retirement. My total corpus at the current state is approx 8 Cr as per the following breakup. 1. Equity - 4.4 CR 2. FD - 1.05 CR 3. Gold - 1 CR 4. 2 nos Property - current valuation - 1.6 CR My curent monthly expenses is approx 1.5 lacs. I have done an medical insurance and I have zero debt. Is this situation is favourable for me to retire in next 1 year with considering life expentensy around 85 years. I am still unvesting 1 lac per month is equities. Thanks

Ans: Hello;

Kudos for a judicious blend of asset allocation.

I have assumed one property occupied by you (80 L) while the other property is let out(80 L) and considering 3% rental yield may provide you a monthly income of 20 K.

You may buy immediate annuity for a sum of 1.45 Cr which may provide you a monthly income of around 65 K (post-tax). (6% annuity rate considered)

For the balance 5 Cr corpus you may do an SWP in a low to moderate risk equity savings fund like ICICI Pru equity savings fund. A 3% SWP will get you a monthly income of 1.12 L (post-tax).

So your total post-tax monthly income in retirement would be 1.12+0.2+0.65= 1.97 L.

A modest return of 8% on SWP fund will be good enough to provide inflation adjusted income every year till the age of 85.

Avoid direct equity and pure equity mutual fund exposure in retirement. Invest through hybrid mutual funds, with low allocation to equity.

Happy Investing;

Hi Experts, Should i take md/diploma in non clinical branch or drop for another year, this will be my fifth attempt. My current rank in neet pg is 87k.

Ans: Hi,If you have the opportunity to pursue an MD in Pharmacology, I highly recommend that you do so without hesitation. There are numerous opportunities for pharmacologists in the pharmaceutical industry. These companies are required to conduct clinical studies before marketing their drugs, making a background in pharmacology highly valuable. Therefore, pursuing an MD in Pharmacology can be a great decision for your career.

I completed my mbbs from Kyrgyzstan but i am not eligible to give exam in pakistan for licence what can i do now plz suggest

Ans: Hi Ayesha,

I have a few questions for you:

1. Are you a citizen of India?
2. Is the exam you mentioned the licensure exam? If so:
- Why do you want to take it in Pakistan?
- Why did you not complete the licensure exam in India?
- Are you planning to settle in Pakistan?

If the answer to the first question is yes, then taking the licensure exam in Pakistan raises some concerns. I suggest it would be better for you to complete your FMGE in India and then move to Pakistan.

Kindly explain the process of getting MBBS admission in UK.MY DAUGHTER IS STUDING IN +2 PLZ EXPLAIN THE FEES STRUCTURE ALSO..

Ans: Hi Manoj,

Greetings! I wanted to discuss why she is planning to pursue medicine in the UK. A bachelor's degree in medicine is a foundational course, so I suggest she complete her MBBS in India first. For her postgraduate studies, she can reconsider studying abroad. Additionally, if she wants to work in the UK after completing her course, she will need to take the exit or licensure exam. Therefore, it may be better for her to finish her medical education in India. This is just my suggestion.

Respected sir Covert university,Uk My son completed MBBS in Philippines. Now he has applied for MPH Is it good sir Kindly suggest me about the course and University please

Ans: Hi Nageswari,

I hope this message finds you well.

I wanted to inquire whether he has completed the FMGE in India. Without passing this exam, pursuing opportunities abroad may not be advisable. It is important for him to at least attempt the licensure exam and pass it. Without this qualification, seeking higher education will not be appropriate.

Additionally, I want to emphasize that completing a Master of Public Health (MPH) after studying medicine is often viewed as a step to gain entry into the U.S. healthcare system; however, it may not be as beneficial if he has not completed the licensure exam. If he intends to pursue higher education in medicine, he needs to finish the licensure exam in order to practice medicine effectively.

Therefore, it’s crucial that he focuses on completing the FMGE exam in India first

I am Sanjeev Kumar, aged 58, working with a reputed public limited company at a senior level. Our company mandates annual health check up from reputed hospitals in Delhi and I am covered under a floater medical insurance plan. I was diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation more than a couple of years ago and taking two tablets per day (one Beta blocker and one blood thinner) as a precaution as per doctor. Otherwise I am physically fit and active (I successfully run half marathon for last more than 10 years). I intend to have another medical indurance as I am approaching retirement age but insurance companies are reluctant to provide me the same. Please advise what type of medical insurance cover I should have (for self and my wife, 55 yrs) and from which companies! Is online plan okay?

Ans: Hello;

If you have a known illness of the heart unfortunately hardly any general insurance company will come forward to cover you despite other positives.

Because insurance works on probability and when they reckon that probability of claim, in future based on current information, may be high they refuse to underwrite such risks.

Since you are an employee of a public sector company, I suppose your employer may have some group mediclaim plan or coverage for the retirees as well.

Take that coverage even if you have to pay and undergo a waiting period.

Alternatively you may earmark some fixed sum 8-10 L as medical contingency fund for yourself.

For your spouse you should opt for a minimum 25 L healthcare cover from companies such as HDFC Ergo, ICICI Lombard, Bajaj Allianz, SBI General etc which do not entirely depend on healthcare insurance as the only business segment.

Ans: Hello;

You will need a corpus of 8 Cr.

You may buy an immediate annuity from a life insurance company for your corpus which may yield you a monthly payout of 2.8 L(post tax).
A 6% annuity rate is considered. Some companies may offer higher annuity rates.

You may select option of joint annuity for life for yourself and your spouse with return of purchase price to your nominee.

Select a big life insurer with good solvency ratio and better credibility.
