Ans: Assessment of Monthly SIP Portfolio for Wealth Accumulation and SWP Planning:

Analyzing Your Investment Strategy:

Your approach towards building a substantial corpus of Rs. 2-3 Crores within the next 3-4 years is ambitious yet achievable with a disciplined investment strategy.
The selection of mutual funds across various categories reflects a diversified approach aimed at optimizing returns while managing risk.
Evaluation of Mutual Fund Selections:

Equity-oriented funds like small-cap, ELSS, and technology funds have the potential to deliver high growth over the long term but come with higher volatility.
Fixed income options such as corporate bond funds and gold savings funds provide stability to the portfolio and serve as a hedge against market fluctuations.
Funds focused on specific sectors like technology and commodities offer the opportunity to capitalize on sectoral trends but may exhibit higher concentration risk.
Risk Management and Asset Allocation:

Diversification across asset classes is essential to mitigate risk and achieve stable returns over the investment horizon.
As you aim to set up a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) of at least Rs. 75,000 per month from year 5, it's crucial to ensure that your portfolio is well-balanced and aligned with your income requirements.
Consider reviewing your asset allocation periodically and rebalancing your portfolio to maintain the desired risk-return profile.
Setting Realistic Expectations:

While your goal of generating Rs. 75,000 per month through SWP from a corpus of Rs. 2-3 Crores is attainable, it's essential to set realistic return expectations based on market conditions and historical performance.
Equity-oriented funds may offer higher returns but come with higher volatility, while fixed income options provide stability but typically offer lower returns.
Consult with a Certified Financial Planner to develop a customized financial plan tailored to your specific goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon.
Recommendations:

Continue your monthly SIP investments but consider reviewing your portfolio to ensure alignment with your long-term financial objectives.
Given your goal of setting up a SWP, focus on building a well-diversified portfolio with a mix of equity and fixed income funds to balance growth potential with stability.
Regularly monitor the performance of your investments and make adjustments as needed to stay on track towards achieving your financial goals.
In conclusion, by maintaining a disciplined investment approach and ensuring proper diversification, you can work towards building a substantial corpus and setting up a reliable income stream through SWP in the future.

Hi Experts, I seek your guidance on my mutual fund portfolio. Below are the details: Total Portfolio Details: - Total Invested Amount: ?15,76,159 - Current Value: ?19,35,234 - Total Returns: ?3,59,075 (+22.78%) - XIRR: 20.75% Monthly SIP Contribution: ?1,18,000 Breakdown of monthly SIP contributions across funds: 1. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?30,000 2. SBI Large & Midcap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?15,000 3. SBI Magnum Mid Cap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?20,000 4. Nippon India Large Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?30,000 5. Nippon India Small Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?7,500 6. ICICI Prudential Technology Direct Plan Growth – ?10,000 7. Quant Small Cap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?7,500 8. HSBC Small Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?5,000 9. Edelweiss US Technology Equity Fund of Funds Direct Growth – ?5,000 Can you suggest if I am on track to create 5 CR corpus in 10 years I have ?25 lakh invested in a Fixed Deposit (FD) in my mother’s account, earning an interest rate of 7.75%, to generate tax-free returns. Additionally, I’m planning to purchase a plot worth ?30–50 lakh in the next 1–2 years. Is it a good idea to keep the money in FD for now, or are there better short-term investment options I should consider to maximize returns while keeping the funds accessible for my future purchase? Looking forward to your suggestions! Thank you!
Ans: Hello;

Your monthly sip value adds upto 1.3 L however you have claimed it to be 1.18 L. (Maybe a typo).

Existing corpus(19.35 L) and monthly sip (1.3 L) won't reach 5 Cr in 10 years.

You have two options to make it happen:

1. Increase monthly sip amount to 1.9 L.

2. Top-up current monthly SIP of 1.3 L by minimum 10% each year for 10 years.

Both ways will lead you to a corpus of 5 Cr over 10 years.

You may consider money market mutual funds for parking your funds for a 1 year horizon. Returns may be comparable to FD returns but with flexibility to withdraw anytime. They typically have low to moderate risk.

Happy Investing;
