Ans: Assessment and Recommendation for Achieving a Corpus of Rs. 2 Crores in 20 Years:

Current Investment Portfolio Review:

Your existing portfolio demonstrates a proactive approach towards wealth accumulation, reflecting a mix of equity, hybrid, and debt funds.
Investments in tax-saving funds like DSP Tax Saver Fund and diversified equity funds like ICICI Prudential Flexi Cap Fund exhibit a focus on long-term growth potential.
However, it's essential to assess the adequacy of your current investments and determine additional contributions required to achieve your target corpus of Rs. 2 Crores in 20 years.
Analysis of Additional Investments Required:

Given your current investment value of Rs. 11.50 Lacs and an investment horizon of 20 years, you need to calculate the required monthly SIP amount to achieve your target corpus.
Considering an assumed annualized return rate based on historical performance of mutual funds, you can estimate the monthly SIP required to reach your goal.
It's crucial to consider factors such as inflation, investment expenses, and market volatility while determining the additional investments needed to achieve your financial objective.
Recommendations for Asset Allocation and Fund Selection:

Given your age and investment horizon, maintaining a predominantly equity-oriented portfolio with a long-term perspective is advisable to maximize growth potential.
Allocate a higher proportion of your investments to equity funds, preferably diversified across market capitalizations and sectors, to capitalize on growth opportunities.
Consider adding exposure to mid-cap and small-cap funds for potential higher returns, but be mindful of the associated volatility.
Incorporate debt funds to provide stability to your portfolio and mitigate risk, especially as you approach your financial goal.
Financial Planning and Goal Setting:

Utilize online SIP calculators or consult with a Certified Financial Planner to determine the exact monthly SIP amount required to achieve your target corpus of Rs. 2 Crores in 20 years.
Review your investment strategy periodically and make necessary adjustments based on changing market conditions, financial goals, and risk tolerance.
Stay disciplined with your investment approach and avoid making impulsive decisions, keeping your long-term financial objectives in mind.
In conclusion, by systematically increasing your monthly SIP contributions and maintaining a well-diversified portfolio aligned with your risk profile and investment horizon, you can work towards achieving your target corpus of Rs. 2 Crores in 20 years.

Sir I have following investments Hdfc mid cap opportunities fund-direct Growth 4000 Hdfc top 100 direct growth5000 Reliance gold savings fund 1000 I want to.have corpus of Rs 10000000 in next 20 years from this investment. My current corpus is 1000000 approx. I am investing in mutual funds from last 11 years. I started with 1000 initially and increases the investment gradually. Do I need to change any fund or I am investing in right funds.
Ans: Your journey of investing, starting with a modest amount and gradually increasing over the years, is commendable and reflects discipline and commitment. Your current portfolio, consisting of mid-cap, large-cap, and gold savings funds, provides a blend of growth-oriented and defensive assets.

To achieve a corpus of Rs 1 Crore in the next 20 years, it's essential to maintain a balanced approach between growth and stability. While your current funds have their merits, consider diversifying further to potentially enhance returns while managing risk.

Regular reviews with a Certified Financial Planner can help assess your portfolio's alignment with your long-term goals and market conditions. With disciplined investing and periodic reviews, you can navigate the investment landscape with confidence, aiming to reach your financial milestone.

Remember, investing is a journey of patience, resilience, and continuous learning. Embrace this journey with confidence and commitment, and may your investments flourish over the years, paving the way towards achieving your financial aspirations.

Relationship
I have a very happy family and one daughter pursuing graduation and son at standard 8. Although I don't have any big issue at my home but my testosterone levels are pretty high. Therefore I am attracted towards ladies and unless ladies offer themselves I never ever have asked anyone for any favour. Since my marriage I have extra marital relation with three different persons. All the time I have shared my things with my wife. She hardly accepts and after lot of persuasion she gets calm. Since my wife has menopause at the age of 40 and she does not display a very happy mood I am always attracted towards outsiders. Even I wanted her to allow me with one of her schoolmate who also have shared her with me. But my wife became furious and has now threatened to legal course of action. What to do? Although I know my desires are already on a negative platform, even then how to control biological requirement?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You say that you don't have any big issues at home, but your wife has threatened you with legal action is not a big issue?
The reasons for it seem very clear that you continue to look for relationships outside of your marriage because your wife is not interested in sex and then you expect her to accept your lifestyle...
She does not accept it and hence has gone the legal way; should that not tell you how right from the beginning of marriage you have been the cause for it to fail?
Rather than just blaming your high testosterone levels which could have been managed, you chose the easy way out by sleeping with multiple women and you think your wife must be okay with it?
So, kindly reevaluate how much you value your wife and your marriage. If this still matters, then I am sure you will make an effort to put things back together between the two of you...As for your high testosterone levels, there are ways in which you can manage (you know for sure how) them without getting into relationships with so many women that come and complicate things for you.

All the best!
